In a year in which funds are made available by the Iowa legislature, the council will award grants to applicants for the provision of educational support services to parents of children aged birth through five years who are at risk, with priority to applicants that serve parents of children aged birth through three years who are at risk. Funds will be made available on a competitive basis to schools or nonprofit agencies demonstrating an ability to provide quality educational support services to parents of children aged birth through five years who are at risk. Competitive grants will be awarded with a renewal option for up to five years contingent upon the awardee’s meeting program requirements.
