Mini-Grants for Classroom Projects
Two grants of $200 each are available annually to KSWLA members for a classroom project need.
Any creative idea is worthy, but we do not fund teacher training or travel. The application process is simple: Fill out the application by clicking the button below and include:
-
a goal statement;

a budget; and
-
a project description.
Preference will be given to proposals with clear intent related to language-learning standard implementation that will impact ALL learners. The grant will be awarded at the KSWLA Conference. Recipients will report on completed projects by presenting a session at the following Conference or by writing an article for the Newsletter.
Deadline for grant proposals is June 1st. For more information, contact the KSWLA Past President (kswlapastpresident@gmail.com).
