Apply for a Teacher Mini-Grant
The Muskegon Fall 2012 Teacher Mini Grant application deadline is Friday, October 12, 2012.
The Youth Advisory Council of the Community Foundation for Muskegon County invites teachers to apply for mini-grant funding to try out a new idea or buy the "extras" for an already great lesson plan or project.
WHO
Any public or private school teacher or counselor in Muskegon County (or other service areas) is eligible to apply.
Grants are limited to one per classroom and one per teacher per school year. Please note that only one application is permitted per teacher.
WHAT
Grants up to $250 will be awarded to teachers to enhance their instructional program including:
New projects or programs, program enhancement that meet curriculum guidelines, expansion of an already existing unit, student awards, special events, professional development opportunities, artists in residence, parent involvement programs. Traditionally, grants are not awarded for capital supplies that are not related to a project or program. Example: A new bulletin board for the classroom. In addition, YAC traditionally does not fund field trips or school store projects.
WHEN
Applications are due by midnight on Friday, October 13, 2012. Funding notifications will be given approximately six weeks after the application deadline.
HOW
Teacher mini-grant applications are now submitted online via eGrant. This is a change from previous years! This transition allows us much more efficiency and accuracy (we aren't entering all 60+ applications by hand), and standardizes the applications. We welcome your feedback on the new process!
