GaDOE Competitive Grants

​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​A competitive grant is a discretionary grant that is awarded through a process defined by the Georgia Department of Education (GaDOE). Periodically, funding is available for GaDOE to award to districts and schools in the form of competitive grants, solidifying our commitment to service and support in a collaborative, innovative environment where students have the resources and tools to succeed and be prepared for life. In an effort to streamline communication and create a consistent application process, all competitive grant opportunities can be accessed here. ​​​​
