Available Funding Notes:

Due to the suspension of the FY 2022–23 grant reductions process due to COVID 19, the amount of ASES funding available for FY 2024–25 is estimated to be around $2 million based solely on school closures and site cancellations. This significantly lowered the amount available for funding making this grant funding year an extremely more competitive process than previous years.
