IMPORTANT NOTICE: CCS GRANTS
-
All grants must go through the Columbus City Schools Grants Endorsement Process prior to applying.
If there is an external or competitive grant you are interested in applying for, you must first seek permission from the district to apply for the grant on behalf of Columbus City Schools. Columbus City Schools is driving transformational change in the district. In an effort to become more cognizant of our footprint to reduce paper use, the district has now converted the Columbus City Schools Grant Endorsement (CCSGE) process and developed an online process/application. Visit the State and Federal Programs website under the Grants tab for more information.
