Scholar Grants Must Meet the Following Criteria:
- Demonstrate a Financial Need: A public school is eligible if 50 percent or more of its full-time students receive free or reduced-price lunches.
- Grade Level/Subject Area Collaboration: Intent is for an entire grade level team of teachers to commit to collaboration, professional growth and peer support to raise student achievement in an agreed upon subject – math and/or ELA.
