Description
The Needs-Based Public School Capital Fund (NBPSCF) Capital Grants (FY26-27) provide significant state lottery-funded support for public school facility projects across North Carolina. Administered by the North Carolina Department of Public Instruction (DPI), these grants are designed to address critical infrastructure needs by funding new school construction, major renovations, additions, or repairs to existing public school buildings. The program targets counties with the greatest needs and the least ability to raise local funds, aiming to enhance educational environments and outcomes.
