School Projects
Awards in this category are based on applications received directly from the school administration to spend on items, activities or events, that will directly benefit the student body, or a major portion thereof.
Funding will not be made where such funding is the normal responsibility of the School, School District or the Department of Education. These awards are intended to help fund some extra things that normally go unfunded and that demonstrate innovation and creativity.
