| The Foundation for West
Hartford Public Schools (FWHPS) provides grants to educators in the West
Hartford Public Schools. Applications are made annually in late
winter/early spring for projects that will take place the following
school year. The deadline is 12 noon, Thursday, April 3, 2008.
Our mission is to provide support for educational projects and
initiatives that directly benefit students and enhance the excellence of
the West Hartford Public Schools community. This is an opportunity for
teachers to try out a new idea or enhance a portion of the curriculum
that would not otherwise be possible due to lack of funds. Last year we
awarded 62 grants to teachers throughout the district.
Description of Grants Grants during this cycle will be awarded for projects that will take place in the 2008/2009 school year. Grants are awarded in two categories: I. Teacher Mini-Grants Teacher mini-grants of up to $2,000 are awarded to teachers for projects, programs, equipment, and supplies used in the classroom. We encourage you to apply for grants that enrich the curriculum. Innovative uses of existing technology will also be considered. It is not our intent to fund routine equipment purchases. II. Professional-in-Residence Grants Professional-in-Residence grants of up to $3,000 are awarded to bring professionals into the classroom to work with students to enrich the curriculum. Multi-grade and multi-school collaborations are particularly encouraged. |
