NEF Offers $180 Million Matching Grant to Schools

This Federal program is known as Qualified Zone Academy Bonds (QZAB). NEF has teamed up with several organizations to make it possible for all eligible schools -- those with 35% of students on free or reduced lunch -- to receive QZAB funds for renovation, energy, equipment, curriculum and professional-development. NEF also donates the 10% match required by law, and helps to build a world-class K-12 CyberLearning Academy that enables students to acquire critical 21st Century workforce skills by improving their math, science and technology skills.
