Sprint has announced the 2010 entry dates for the Sprint Character Education Grant Program, its annual character-education grant program for schools and school districts across the United States. The 2010 program will run from January 4 through February 5, 2010.

Now in its third year, the program awards Sprint Foundation grants to school districts and individual schools in support of resources that facilitate and encourage character education among K-12 students. The program is open to all U.S. public schools (K-12) and U.S. public school districts.

In 2010, the grant program will award individual-school grants between $500 and $5,000 each and school-district grants between $10,000 and $25,000 each. In 2009, the Sprint Foundation awarded more than $450,000 in combined grants to schools and school districts through the program.

The program will accept applications for character-education programs that promote and/or address youth leadership, youth volunteerism, a positive school culture, and drop-out prevention.
