Grants

A critical element of BPS Arts Expansion is the grantmaking Fund. The BPS Arts Expansion Fund is used to empower BPS schools to embrace, expand and deepen arts instruction in schools.

Applications for the 2024-2025 BPS Arts Expansion grants are now closed.

Eligibility

All Boston Public Schools can apply for School Arts Index or Career Pathways grants. Schools must have a completed 2023-24 School Arts Survey on file when submitting their application. The list of schools who have responded to the survey can be found below.
