Nebraska Foundation for Agricultural Awareness is offering competitive mini-grants of up to $400 for use in classroom programs that promote agricultural literacy. The budget section of the application provides space for detailing the amount needed and how it will be utilized. The grants are available for kindergarten through grade 12. A total of $2,000 is available for the 2011-2012 school year.

The program objectives should enhance student knowledge of the contribution made by agriculture. Innovative and inter-disciplinary programs will be encouraged. Field trips and assemblies must be linked to classroom learning objectives and should outline specific pre- and post-event activities. Applications will be evaluated by a panel of judges (educators and agricultural leaders).
