The U.S. Department of Education announced applications for two grant programs focused on ensuring that school facilities and grounds provide safe, healthy, sustainable, and equitable learning environments: the Supporting America’s School Infrastructure grant and the National Center on School Infrastructure grant.

The Supporting America’s School Infrastructure grant will award approximately $40 million to eligible state entities to increase the capacity of the state to, in turn, support high-need school districts.

The National Center on School Infrastructure grant will award approximately $2 million to an eligible organization to establish a national center on school infrastructure that will serve both as a clearinghouse of resources and provide technical assistance to improve public school facilities.

Applications for both programs are due August 7. Find more information on school infrastructure grants, including pre-application webinars, here.
