    Please read carefully.

    • Selection is based on a 25 point system.
    • Funding availability or committee discretion may result in partial funding.
    • The Mini-Grant will not provide funding for: transportation, standard textbooks, curriculum, conference attendance, training, or programs that are duplications of existing special education or technical programs.
