Grants requested retroactively cannot be considered.

In awarding available funds, the Trust will give preference to the following:

  • Projects that will enrich the curriculum (as opposed to providing core curriculum, which is traditionally funded by state and local resources).
  • Projects with potential long-term impact.

  • Inter-classroom, inter-discipline, and multi-teacher projects.
