School Improvement Grants (SIG) 1003(g) funds are awarded by formula to State Education Agencies (SEAs) with approved applications. SEAs then make competitive grants available to Local Education Agencies (LEAs) over three years. An LEA may request funds for eligible schools in amounts between $50,000 and $2,000,000 per year for each school it commits to serve. SIG schools must implement one of four federally-defined models (pdf, 53kb) to improve or close and LEAs must outline a plan for implementing the chosen model in their application to the SEA.
