Opportunity Overview
The Education Foundation of Baltimore County Public Schools, in partnership with First Financial Federal Credit Union, is accepting 2026-2027 Putting Students First Grant applications. Awards are up to $1,000 per project. Applications are due September 25, 2026 by 5:00 PM; the official materials do not state a time zone.
Applicants must be BCPS professional personnel. Projects must be conducted and supervised by BCPS professionals who work directly with students, including teachers, school counselors, media specialists and nurses.
Eligible uses include classroom resources, basic materials and supplies for academic, health and wellness, social-emotional or therapeutic needs, classroom audio-visual and technology resources, student opportunities or experiences, and eligible professional-development or teaching initiatives. Funds cannot replace normal tax-supported funding and cannot pay BCPS staff personnel costs.
The current online application asks for school and supervisor information, project coordinator information, target audience, area of support, project narrative, need and impact, measurable success, project resources and a proposed budget upload.
Atlas Analysis
Atlas Opportunity Score: 84/100. The program is directly relevant to Maryland school health because health/wellness, social-emotional/therapeutic needs and classroom technology are expressly eligible. N9+ Fit: 6/100 conditional. The $1,000 ceiling and classroom-resource focus make an N9+ device proposal impractical and should not be forced. Dr. Miltie is not a direct eligible applicant.
