Approvable programs employ qualified instructional staff, each of whom either hold a current and valid agricultural education Professional Educator License or an Educator License with Stipulations endorsed for agricultural education. Approvable programs offer a series of courses that are sequential in one or more recognized AFNR pathways and include at least one introductory course and one higher-level course.

What are allowable expenditures for the Incentive Funding Grant (IFG)?  \nAllowable expenditures include, but are not limited to, activities that support the improvement of instruction or program improvements (e.g. , curriculum development, professional development, field support services, program coordination , and pilot projects) . Mileage may be charged to the grant only for travel associated with supervised agricultural experience visits. The rate of reimbursement will be specified in the application.  \nNonallowable expenditures include, but are not limited to, teacher professional organization or union dues; college tuition; operation, maintenance, or repair costs of school laboratory machines and implements; utilities (e.g. , heating, cooling, telephone); ordinary, non-specialized classroom furniture; and food and lodging; other than food an lodging for the IAVAT Conference.  \nNo more than 50 percent of the applicant’s allocation shall be expended for extended contracts (i.e. , those that exceed nine months) or stipends, and no more than 25 percent of the allocation shall be expended for consumables.  \n3. What are the correct function and object codes for my expenditures?  \nWhen completing your budget details in IWAS, each expenditure will need to be aligned with a two-part budget code. This is the most common reason for a budget not being approved; as such, it is crucial that you understand these codes and their meanings. The first part of the budget code is a four-digit  \nindication of the action or purpose for which the expenditure is intended called the function code. The following are the allowed function codes for the Incentive Funding Grant:  \n• 1000 – Instruction: For the teaching of students or the interaction between teacher and students.  \n• 2210 – Improvement of Instructional Services: For the planning and evaluation of instruction.  \nThe second part of the budget code is a three-digit indication of the service or item obtained to achieve the identified function called the object code. Note that only specific combinations of function and object codes are allowed.
