Application for Funds - continued

The middle school programs are limited to $15,000 each. High schools are limited to $25,000 and Regional Career and Technical centers are limited to $50,000. The intent is for the middle and high schools to work collaboratively with the regional career and technical education centers to provide the preliminary coursework, and for the regional career and technical education centers to provide the capstone programs in pre-engineering.  The capstone program should be articulated with post-secondary institutions, thus providing a seamless transition from secondary to post-secondary education.  For more information please contact Ed Taylor at (603) 271-3886 or etaylor@ed.state.nh.us.
