Final Grant Approvals for Jan – May 2023
We will pay funds as noted below based upon the number of students (not to exceed the number shown on your application) and the number of facilities visited and/or the number of nights the students remain overnight at Brandon Spring Group Camp. If you bring fewer students or visit fewer facilities we will reduce the payment based upon these numbers actually involved.
We will direct funds equal to the number of dollars which we committed to support (based upon the number of students traveling to LBL and the number of facilities and nights stayed). These approved funds will be paid directly to the proper agency to support your visit. Any costs above the amount approved will be the responsibility of the school. These obligations need to be satisfied by payments made by the school.
Please complete and forward your evaluation form within 7 days of trip and visit.
[Digital images of your students engaged in their visit would be very helpful to us. Please submit after your visit.]
The final Order of Merit List for Grants approved for the 2022-2023 School Year is shown below. Please remember that all Evaluations should be received by Jun 30, 2023 in order to be paid by the grant.
