Successful applicants for the Mary Lou Anderson Reflections Arts Enhancement Grants will:
* Propose a strong program design that has a clear implementation strategy. The program design should be outcomes-oriented and must enhance arts education.

Special consideration will be given to applicants that reach large numbers of at-risk students.

Some factors that make students at risk are financial, familial, health, behavioral, social, and environmental or other community conditions.
Applications must be complete and submitted on time. Incomplete or late applications will not be reviewed. Consideration may be given to ensure geographic distribution of awards.
