Schools will also be able to apply for funding for extracurricular activities that provide additional value beyond regular school programming in one of these areas.
The scheme is being administered by What Impact on behalf of the council. Last year, What Impact administered a similar scheme on behalf of the council, which supported cultural, heritage and sporting projects.
Grants will be available again this year for sports clubs through the scheme.

Applications will be accepted across two windows.
The first window opened last week (Thursday 15 May) and runs until Thursday 12 June. Applications will then be reviewed with an aim to starting delivery from July.
