MonetaryGrant

MonetaryGrant is a Grant subtype for grants of money: research grants, scholarships, arts funding, open-source sponsorships, fellowship awards. It adds one property of its own: amount (MonetaryAmount or Number).

Always use the MonetaryAmount form for amount: it carries both the value and the ISO 4217 currency code. A bare number loses the currency and makes the grant uncomparable across jurisdictions.

Common MonetaryGrant mistakes

Mistakes that pass validation but silently fail to earn rich results or mislead consumers walking the graph. Avoid these and your markup will be ahead of most sites in the wild.

01
amount as bare number
Wrong
```
"amount": 50000
```
Right
```
"amount": { "@type": "MonetaryAmount", "value": "50000.00", "currency": "USD" }
```
A bare number carries no currency. Always use MonetaryAmount so 50,000 USD doesn't get conflated with 50,000 CAD or JPY.
02
Currency as a symbol
Wrong
```
"currency": "$"
```
Right
```
"currency": "USD" (ISO 4217 three-letter code)
```
ISO 4217 uses three-letter codes. Currency symbols are not unique ($ can be USD, CAD, AUD, MXN, etc.).
