About the Tiny Grant Program

The Governor’s Office of Student Achievement’s Tiny Grant Program invested in traditional public schools, charter schools, and school districts that implemented inventive projects that deeply engage students and have the potential to have a large and lasting impact on the academic environment. Launched in October 2016, GOSA’s Tiny Grant Program has awarded over $500,000 to over 70 Georgia schools and districts implementing programs that engage students in the areas of applied learning with a focus on STEAM (science, technology, engineering, arts and math), blended and personalized learning, and birth to age eight language and literacy development.
