To be eligible a school must be:

  1. a private, public, or charter school
  2. a preschool, elementary or middle school
  3. located anywhere in New Jersey

NOTE:  A school is not eligible for this grant if it has received a Target Arts Education Scholarship for the last 2 consecutive school years. You may reapply again in the 2013-2014 school year (pending funding).

Grants are awarded on a competitive basis and evaluated on:

  1. the school’s commitment to bringing quality arts programs to its students, teachers and community.
  2. demonstrated financial need.
  3. ability to schedule programs within the 2012/2013 school year.

Priority will be given to schools in financial need. This need may be due to recent budget cuts, a history of insufficient school funding or a fiscal crisis related to the current economic downturn.
