The planning grant will help the Caston School Corporation research before and after school programs, homework help, summer school, mental health supports, tutoring and intervention, that align with Lilly's mission to address nonacademic barriers that hinder a student's success.

The planning grant will help the school corporation prepare and submit the competitive grant (up to $600,000) which is due in March of 2027.
