Are bonus points given to projects serving students beyond the 50% at-risk guideline?
No bonus points are awarded for meeting the at-risk criteria; however, proposals that have 80% or higher in the eligible participants criteria will be given additional consideration. Bonus points are available for proposals that address increases in: reading proficiency, math proficiency, high school graduation rates, post-secondary access or success and/or STEM activities. Those activities must be evidence based and supported by research.
