Program Details:

The agreement outlines the eligibility for student grants. The students must be at least four-years-old, meet the income guidelines of the free and reduced lunch program, live in Owen County and must attend the Pre-K program at least four days per week. The agreement also outlines the data points that the community foundation needs annually. This data is mainly in student growth and looks at the impact Pre-K has on the students through grade 3.
