About Excel Aid

• Funds may be used with building aid, but can not
  exceed the total project cost
• Excel can be used in lieu of building aid
• Excel aid can be applied to the difference
  between approved project cost so that it is
  possible in some instances for there to be no
  local share
• Must be reviewed and approved by SED Facilities
  Planning as an Excel project
