THE EDUCATION "PLUS!" FACTOR
The "Plus!" factor must be clearly defined in your project application. The criterion for application ranking was revised to aid our grants committee members in reviewing applications and project selection. SCF has also refined the selection procedures used by the committee. These modifications have resulted in a more rigorous, highly competitive selection process used in awarding up to a maximum amount of up to $1,000 for each project. Click

2013-2014 APPLICATION CYCLE
The program application cycle begins again in September, 2013 for all teachers at Solano County public schools. Since the launch of the Education Plus! Mini-Grant Program in 2000, over 18,000 students have participated in funded projects!
In light of the dramatic and continued budget cuts throughout California, and the devastating impact on our local public schools, the Education Plus! Mini-Grant Program is more important now than ever. Application materials will be available to view and download from this page in late August, 2013.
