Monsanto Fund and America’s Farmers Grow Rural Education is once again helping rural American schools invest in students’ futures with funding for math and science programs.

In the fourth year of the program, America’s Farmers Grow Rural Education is expanding and now in 1,324 counties in 40 states. Farmers again will have the opportunity to nominate their local public school district for a grant of $10,000 or $25,000 for math and science education. Nominations are accepted now through April 1, and winners will be announced in early August.

Here are a few things to know:
