Parents,
I want to make sure you are each are aware of this grant opportunity. The Idaho State Board of Education has recently opened the grant application period for the Empowering Parents program.  The letter and the attached documents explain the application process.  All families are welcome to apply for the Empowering Parents program grant.

Thank you,

Hello!
 
2024-25 Empowering Parents program grant applications are open.   Applications will close when funding is exhausted, so we’re hoping families apply right away!
 
As a reminder,  ALL parents of Idaho students ages 5-18 who filed a 2023 Idaho tax return are eligible.  Families with adjusted gross incomes (AGI) of under 60k receive priority. Grants are $1,000 per student and up to $3,000 per family.  The grant funds can be used for a huge range of items to support student learning – including laptops or technology, extracurricular classes, camps,  and school athletic fees, driver’s education, tutoring or speech therapy – and more!
 
The application guide is available in English and Spanish and phone customer service agents are also bilingual.
 
I am happy to be a resource if you or the families have questions.  Thank you so much for helping me share this good news with Idaho families.
 
Best regards,
Kate Lenz | Empowering Parents Project Coordinator
