Grant Opportunities for TCAPS
We offer two competitive grant opportunities specifically for Traverse City Area Public Schools (TCAPS). Grant applications are accepted year-round, reviewed annually in November, and awards are presented in December, with funding available for the 2023-2024 academic year. Only one application needs to be completed for both available TCAPS opportunities.
