What is a "classroom"?

Education isn’t confined to traditional classrooms. We’re sure we’re not the only ones who have absorbed life-long lessons in a library, gymnasium, or outdoor space. As you prepare your Classroom Makeovers application, feel free to think outside the box! We welcome all innovative ideas and are funding up to $45,000 for three Classroom Makeovers this year. Applications are now open from August 15 through September 30, 2026.
