This Grant Program is sponsored
by the PTSA. The purpose of the grant program is to support learning and help
relieve the financial burden of creating school-based projects, particularly Senior
Projects. Funding priority is given to projects that integrate subjects,
involve an in-depth study of a subject or art form, or enrich VSAA or the
larger community. Students must be enrolled in VSAA the year they apply, and all
grade levels (6-12) are eligible. Application deadline Student Grants Program: 4 p.m. on Friday, 02/19/10. Click here to download the application. NOTE: This is the only grant cycle that high school students will be eligible to apply for this school year Late
or incomplete grant applications will not be accepted. Grants typically fund materials including software, art supplies, books, recordings, instruments and equipment. Tell us why you need the materials – for example, “Videotape will be used for interviews of local artists.” Technical and professional fees may also be funded. Lessons, food, celebrations, and parties are not funded by this grant program. Money is available for
individual and group projects. Please make
it clear if your request is for a group project. For requests of more than $50, a match of
funds is encouraged but not required. The Project
Summary must be type-written, clear, concise and easily understood. Please define artistic and technical terms as
if the reader has no knowledge of your topic.
You have a better chance of being funded if we have a clear understanding
of your project. Applications are
evaluated anonymously, so please don’t identify yourself or other team members
by name in the application (except where specifically asked for this
information on the Application Information page). A committee of PTSA members will
review the applications. Unfortunately, we cannot
guarantee all students who apply will receive grants, or receive the full
amount requested. Awards are made based on merit of the application,
number of applications received, and where PTSA funds can help the most. We require all receipts from your project. (The PTSA is a non-profit corporation which is required by law to document all expenditures.) If you are already spending money for your project, save your receipts. Questions?
