Grant Information
|
WHAT ARE THE GUIDELINES?A CURRENT grant application must be downloaded from this site. It must be completed in full. No attachments can be included and the space provided over the 3 page application cannot be exceeded. Use the space allowed as an indicator of how much information to include. The application cannot identify your school, your name or any faculty or staff names that would identify your location – as this information can only be included in the one cover sheet. All grants must have an academic focus, and all teaching acronyms must be defined for the readers.
IS THERE ANYThING THAT GRANTS WILL NOT COVER? |
|
Yes. The following will not be covered by the WBR Foundation grant funds: stipend pay for teachers; travel, room and board for training; any items that would be covered by the WBRSB General Fund, the Minimum Foundation Program (MFP) or the State General Fund.
WHEN ARE THE APPLICATIONS AVAILABLE?At the beginning of the school year, the grant applications are made available for a month and a deadline date will be posted. It is the goal of the WBR Foundation to have all applicants notified by the end of October so that they can begin their purchases and get their project up and going for the current school year.
