Innovation Grant Application

Awards will be based on the educational merit, as well as innovation of the proposed project. Please be specific about how the grant innovation will improve the learning outcomes or environment for students. In other words, do not just ask for technology; explain in detail how you will be innovative with the technology, how it will be used, and, most importantly, how it will impact students and the learning process in your classroom.

  • Complete the online application and a detailed budget sheet. Submit no later than Sept 29, 2023 by 5:00 p.m.
