AODA Student Mini-Grant Competition – Now Open!
Deadline October 9

Comprehensive school health programs require youth involvement to create environments conducive to healthy, resilient, and successful learners.

Consideration will be given based on the educational value of the project and statewide geographic distribution of funds. The amount of each individual mini-grant award may not exceed $1,000 and applications are due October 9th.
