Three categories: student achievement programs, innovation and technology, and student wellness. Priority goes to schools in underserved communities and to projects with no budget yet. Funds must be spent within one year. The program generally does not fund playgrounds or outdoor campus projects, endowments, fundraising or individual student needs. The rules call $1,000 to $10,000 an estimate; actual amounts may vary.
