Grant Purpose

The UES program is set up to provide grant funding, educational materials, professional development and technical support over a two-year period to districts that wish to integrate instructional strategies that address state content standards with campus resource conservation programs. The UES program will focus on sixth grade programs. The program is organized in two phases: Phase One--Audit and Planning, at funding levels up to $27,000 per grantee, and Phase Two--Implementation Phase at funding levels up to $38,000 per grantee. 

Applicant Eligibility

Phase One UES grants are designed to support the development of programs focused on the sixth grade; therefore, these grants are available only to California public school districts with 6th grades.

Questions & Answers 

Due to the short timeframe available to apply for this grant opportunity, we highly recommend that you (1) check the already published Q&As and (2) if you have a new question, not found on the web site, that you submit it right away so the Board has time to answer it before the April 8th deadline. We also strongly encourage that you visit the Q&A page frequently, as we are constantly updating the information and want to ensure that you are proceeding with the most current information available.
