While applications are often planned by a group that may include parents, community agencies, and school administrators, all grants must be written and submitted by teachers. Applications written by professional grant writers or administrators will not be accepted. All grants must be approved by the school principal, with a signature on the application form. Please check the Calendar page for application deadlines. The application forms are designed to be simple tools to enable you to describe the project, explain how it will benefit your students, detail the resources you need, and illustrate how you will evaluate and share the results of your efforts.
Clarity is essential for a good application.
All grant selections are made by a committee of Peninsula public school teachers and administrators who review the applications and make award decisions. Don't assume knowledge. Tell us about your students' needs and how your project will make a difference in their lives. Make sure there is a logical connection between your project goals and activities, and your budget. Don't use educational or technical jargon.
