Grants at the Boston Public Schools
Thank you for visiting the Grants section of the Boston Public Schools! All grants at the Boston Public Schools are housed in one of two locations, which allows for strategic and compliant use of grant funding.

The Office of Federal & State Grants, Programs, and Compliance houses and manages all Federal, State, and local funding, as well as some private funding, to assure all dollars are being compliantly and strategically used to support the education of all children in the district.
Visit the Office of Federal & State Grants, Programs, and Compliance for information about finding new grant opportunities, applying to grants, managing and spending grants, and grant compliance.
