Three types of School Improvement Network Grants are currently available. Grants are limited so apply as soon as possible to increase your chances.

Stipend Grants

Stipend grants are designed to increase the incentive of an onsite participant, ideally a lead teacher, to see that content is implemented, used and implementation discussions and activities are completed. Grant awards will vary depending on the focus of the district or school but generally have a beginning amount of $200. Stipends are paid directly to the person identified at the beginning of the training, once activities are completed and verified at the end of the implementation cycle. This grant is designed to help build internal capacity at the school level and insure that ongoing implementation occurs.

Maximum award: Varies
Application deadline: June 30, 2008

System-Wide Matching Grants

Matching Grants may be dollar for dollar matches for system-wide School Improvement Network professional development solutions. Districts become eligible for matching grants as they focus on specific, district professional development needs and objectives.

Maximum award: $500,000
Application deadline: June 30, 2008

Maximum Award:$75,000
