The purpose of the Healthy School Environments Action Learning Collaborative Grant is to support schools in low income communities as they strive to improve the long-term health and success of students through the successful adoption of the USDA’s Healthier US School Challenge standards. Successful projects will focus on one or more element of the Healthier US School Challenge, engage the school community including students, and include an evaluation component and plans for program continuation beyond the conclusion of the award period.
Five wards of $5,000 will be available. Applicants must be individual (non-charter) public schools located in the 50 states, and the District of Columbia that participate in the National School Lunch Program and have a low-income student population of 80% or greater (as determined by percentage of students eligible for free and reduced school meals). Nonprofit organizations that have been directed by a school to apply for the award are also eligible. Applicants must also be official USDA Team Nutrition Schools.
