TEACHER GRANT PROGRAM
The foundation is pleased to offer a Teacher Grant Program for faculty at Nickajack. This program allows teachers to apply for funding for curriculum enhancements, STEAM-focused equipment and supplies, and professional development opportunities.
In order to be awarded funding, teachers are required to submit a grant application. Once grant applications have been received, a grant committee comprised of Foundation Board Members will read and score the applications based on a rubric.
Applications are evaluated based on the following considerations:
Does the grant fit within the mission of the foundation?
What population of the school will the grant benefit?
Is the amount of the grant justified based on the population it will serve?
Does the school district provide this product or service currently?
Does the school have the appropriate infrastructure in place to support this request?
