Grants of up to $300 to New Mexico teachers, librarians, and counselors for creative projects that will enhance student education. Projects should encourage originality and seek to develop more effective methods of teaching. Projects must be new, innovative, and be student based. Projects must take place in Gallup and McKinley County schools.
Grant projects must benefit students educationally by enabling staff members to put new and innovative ideas into action that might not be implemented otherwise. Grant funds can be used to purchase manipulatives, science materials, craft materials, and other hands on items that students will use in carrying out activities of your project.
Projects that include the following must have written approval from the appropriate District Administrator:
- Facilities: Changes or improvements to any school facility or property
- Curriculum: Supplements or changes to the current GMCS approved curriculum
Others (see text field entitled "Additional Eligibility Criteria" for clarification)
