FY 2016 Appropriation

The RFP program enables smaller, more regional, professional organizations to participate in science education delivery. These programs participate in the RFP to develop educational programs geared to the state core curriculum, expand to provide statewide outreach, and once established are eligible to receive ongoing funding by becoming a service provider in the iSEE program.

RFP organizations may apply to move to the iSEE program once they have successfully participated in the program for three years and demonstrated that they have a proven quality of service, fiscal responsibility and a core curriculum-based focus in their school program. The USOE has established guidelines for RFP organizations to transition to the iSEE program. These regulations and eligibility requirements are the same for Art or Science providers.
