Grants:

• Grants are intended to supplement materials and resources, not included in the regular school budget, that contribute to the instruction of students.

• Grants should provide opportunities for teachers to initiate new or creative instructional strategies/activities.

• Grants will be strengthened by the number of students impacted, cross-house opportunities, and the link to curriculum and instruction.

• Successful Grant Applications will be filled out completely and provide adequate information for the Grant Committee to be able to make an informed decision. Including such information as manufacturer and model information, unit price, etc. will be very helpful in this process.

• If more than one application is submitted by a team, the team will be asked to prioritize them.

 

Grants are NOT intended for:

• Field trips (including entrance fees, transportation, and chaperone background check fees)

• School supplies(like glue, pencils, paper)

• Reimbursement of monies already spent

• Maintenance and upkeep

​

Who Can Apply For An Educational Grant?

• Almost any individual or group affiliated with the Williston Schools and involved in the educational process for Williston students may apply for a grant.

​

NOTE:

• A staff technology expert should be consulted before the Application is submitted if "technology" (i.e., Smart Boards, Mimeos, document cameras, etc.) is included on the Application.  This is to ensure that all items requested will meet criteria for compatibility, ability to service, etc.

• Grant funds must be spent prior to March 1 of the school year in which the Application was submitted. Funds not spent will revert back to WFAP unless otherwise specified and accepted in the application.
