Grants Awarded by the Northwest Kansas City Center
Guidelines
- All teachers or administrators employed in Missouri or Kansas schools may apply for teaching grants of amounts up to $500.
- Grants will fund projects that are not already provided for in site and district budgets.
- Teaching grants cannot fund teacher compensation.
- When creating a budget, research carefully and be realistic. Small grants are just as likely to be awarded as large grants, and partial funding will also be considered. A line item budget request will be required.
- Objectives and outcomes of the project should be consistent with state, district, and/or site goals. The goals should be clearly stated and the linkage between the grant and the goals should be clearly identified.
- Projects awarded grant funds must be completed between July 1, 2013 and June 30, 2014.
- Grant winners may be asked to give verbal and/or visual presentations of their projects at future meetings or events, to talk with the media, and to have their photograph taken for Northwest Missouri State University publications in print and online. Additionally, grant winners will be asked to provide photographs of their students engaged in the project being funded by the grant.
