All proposals submitted must fall within the services outlined in our mission statement and will need to be for new or existing/expanding programming. Funds cannot be used to supplant any services or programs required by the law or the Department of Education. This is an open, competitive grant process. The ISEP Board of Directors will enlist an independent body to review and score the proposals that have been determined to meet the minimum criteria.
