Mini Grants Application is Closed
Our first round of teacher Mini-Grants applications are closed. Please stay tuned for grant announcements and the announcement of our next round of grants.
Teachers!
Do you have an idea but need funding to make your dream project a reality?
Teacher Mini-Grants provide funds to teachers to develop and implement instructional projects that motivate and challenge students to learn. Proposals should be unique classroom projects that enliven and enrich the curriculum.
Through a very simple application process, K-12 teachers can apply for grant funding to provide enriching academic experiences in their classrooms.
Typical grant awards range from $50— $150. Requests larger than $150 will not be funded.
Every school in the District will be awarded a minimum of two grants or the equivalent of $300 in funding.
Grant applications are due by November 30, 2011.
