Open now. The Arizona Department of Education (ADE) will award a competitive $250,000 grant through the Wrestling Appropriation Fund to one Arizona high school that serves grades 6–12 and incorporates wrestling into its mission. ADE states that the Grants Management application was scheduled to open no later than September 8, 2026, and completed applications are due September 27, 2026, by 11:59 PM. ADE does not state a time zone for the deadline on the controlling page, so Atlas treats the exact deadline as unverified for new applicant outreach and will not infer one.
Eligible applicants: Arizona public district schools, charter schools, and private schools that serve students in grades 6–12 and can demonstrate that wrestling is incorporated into the school’s mission. The funded project period ends June 30, 2027.
Atlas Opportunity Score: 55/100. This is a verified, currently open school funding opportunity with a meaningful single award, but eligibility is exceptionally narrow and only one school will be funded.
N9+ Direct Vendor Fit: 0/100. ADE’s verified funding purpose is the wrestling appropriation itself. Atlas does not identify a defensible healthcare, telehealth, remote-exam, school-health, or N9+ technology path under the published scope, so no Dr. Miltie direct-vendor capture or applicant outreach is prioritized.
