Walton Family Foundation High Quality Start-up Grant Expanded Opportunities

Jan 12, 2010

The Walton Family Foundation High Quality Strt-up Grant opportunity has significant changes this year. As in the past years, a new start-up and conversion schools with a high likelihood of success in delivering high quality programming to disadvantaged students will be considered for $250,000 in assistance. Important changes this year include:

1. Schools expanding programs can be considered (adding middle school grades to an existing elementary school, adding middle school grades to a high school, etc.)

2. Ongoing financial support after the first year of operation, such as a $500 per student subsidy for up to five years, with performance goals met.

3. Geographic flexibility (we can consider new schools statewide).
