What.
I spent a great deal of time shuffling through a variety of grants. Most of the grants did not fit with my class
because I teach Social Studies. I found
that a large number of the grants concentrated on Math and Science or had a
state or low-income requirement. I teach
in an affluent school district with a low number of minority students. All that stated, I did find a grant provided
by State farm Insurance that appears to be open to anyone who teaches
K-12. I would like to have found a grant
that fits the needs of my classroom.
Money for apps would have been great.
The district is really supportive in this area but it would be nice to
demonstrate my interest in helping in these budget sensitive times.
Why I kind of answered this question in the
What section. I think that getting the opportunity to have
additional funds for the school and my class is always welcome.
When Applying for the grant is an easy endeavor. Simply fill out the application at http://www.statefarm.com/aboutus/community/grants/company/company.asp
and wait for a response. It appears it
will help your possibilities if you mention any of the following.
- Financial Literacy
- Access to Higher Education/Closing the Achievement Gap
- Community Safety and Natural Disaster Preparedness
- Environmental Responsibility
- Societal Health and Wellness Issues
