PROJECT PROPOSAL GUIDELINES

The following guidelines were developed by the selection committee:

• Projects must fall outside the sphere of the regular curriculum.
• Only projects with educational content will be considered.
• Projects with potential impact beyond the initial grant will be given priority
• Interclassroom, interdisciplinary and multi-teacher projects will be favored.
• Parent involvement will strengthen the proposal.
• Grants may be used to purchase equipment or provide field trips only when these are components of a larger project.
• Grants may not be used to pay school personnel.
• Small grant funds must supplement – not replace – state or local funds.
