This is a great program!

I have applied for this grant multiple times and received it each time. There's some paperwork and record keeping involved, but it's a straightforward application. They give out hundreds of grants, and it appears that they give it to pretty much everyone who submits a complete application on time. The only complication is that you have to physically appear in Azusa for the award ceremony. Over time, these grants really add up and can have a major impact on a school's history/social studies curriculum. I highly recommend it.
