  • Professional development
  • School counseling program development and implementation

Funds may not be used for the following (including, but not limited to):

  • Capital equipment
  • Building improvements, construction, or maintenance
  • Administrative costs or incentives for students

Duration of Grant: Grants will be awarded for a four-year term.  Each year of grant funding is contingent upon annual appropriations by the State Legislature.
