Sprint Character Education Grant Program Announces 2010 Application Period

Sprint has announced the launch of the 2010 application period for the Sprint Character Education Grant Program, its annual character-education grant program for schools and school districts across the United States.

Now in its third year, the program awards Sprint Foundation grants to school districts and individual schools to fund resources that facilitate and encourage character education among K-12 students. The program is open to all U.S. public schools (K-12) and U.S. public school districts.

In 2010, the Sprint Character Education Grant Program will award grants between $500 and $5,000 each to individual schools and grants between $10,000 and $25,000 each to school districts. In 2009, the Sprint Foundation awarded a total of more than $450,000 to schools and school districts through the program.

The program will accept applications for character-education programs that promote and/or address youth leadership, youth volunteerism, a positive school culture, and drop-out prevention.
