Please Note: We HIGHLY RECOMMEND that you compose the body of your grant application first in a document such as MS Word, before cutting and pasting it into the online application template. APPLICATION CANNOT BE SAVED while you are in the process of composing online, and applications have been lost in the past during this process and through technical-related interruptions, such as server disconnections.

Please also read through these procedures & considerations before starting your application:

Approval is required from your school principal to ensure that appropriate administrative personnel are aware of your submission of the grant application.
Project funds must be spent during the 2010-2011 school year (January-May).
