September 2009 Grant Information for Teachers Each year the PTSA is pleased to provide grants to fund projects which enrich the learning experience for our students and teachers. The projects should supplement the curriculum in some way by providing materials or resources not covered in the school budget. Three types of grants are available:
Mini-Grants are for projects that typically cost a maximum of $200 per classroom and are intended to help teachers try something different or purchase new materials/equipment to enrich the curriculum. Grants are to cover expenses related directly to students and classroom activities. We generally do not cover the cost of food or books.
Special Project Grants are for larger amounts, generally $500 and above, and are expected to benefit an entire department, grade, the entire school, or the district.
Dr. John J. Russell Renaissance Grant is a single grant of $1,000 for an interdisciplinary project. Named in honor of Dr. John J. Russell, former Superintendent of Schools, the purpose of the grant is to support the education and development of the whole student – the academic, the artistic, the physical - the Renaissance student.
The Grant Committee meets periodically throughout the year to review applications. Please send us your request as soon as you are aware of the need. Even if you don’t plan to use the money until later in the year, the PTSA is better able to plan if we have applications sooner rather than later.
We look forward to receiving your proposals and learning about the exciting plans you have for our students. After your grant proposal has been reviewed, the committee will contact you with any questions and to let you know whether the grant has been approved. |
