A maximum of six grants will be awarded to any individual LEA across all actions. Technology Lending Grant Amount Awarded: $180,000 Grant Funds Available: February 2024 through April 2025 Purpose of Grant: The Technology Lending Grant program provides students equipment necessary to access and use digital instructional materials at school and at home.
