Rural schools serviced by small independent telephone companies are eligible for grants to improve technology resources. Grants of up to $10,000 will be given to increase technology use in the classroom. Equipment, curriculum, and training are appropriate uses of grant funds.
Six specific evaluation criteria will be used to score applications, and priority will be given to applications, which show strong collaboration between the school, community, and telephone company.
