2011 Grant Application Info

Got an idea that will transform the delivery of education? We want to hear from you.

The Wayland Public Schools Foundation (WPSF) provides teachers with the resources to dream of new ways to teach and engage students. Think out of the box. Or reproduce what works in other classrooms or schools. Our goal is to support your creativity and enrich the educational experience of all Wayland students. Since 1983, WPSF has funded about $2,000,000 for more than 550 innovative ideas across all subjects and grade levels.

If your idea – big or small – has the potential to make a positive impact on you, your students, your school or others in the district, apply for a grant now!

Tips for Applying

1. Carefully read and follow the 2011 Grant Application Guidelines. Make sure your idea fits our funding criteria.

2. Submit your application with all the required signatures to the Superintendent’s office before the deadline. Grant proposals do not need to be long but they must provide all of the requested information.

3. To obtain pricing for certain technology purchases (i.e. Smart Classrooms), please work with the Technology Department and check its web site for a list of recommended hardware (under “Resources” on the right). Please submit grant requests to the Technology Department at least one week prior to the WPSF grant deadline so that requests and potential quantity discounts can be explored. If the technology requires training, please explain what sort of training will be provided, including timing, frequency, and costs (in any).

4. The Foundation's policy does not allow paying for substitute teachers, travel expenses, buses, facility rentals, food or hotel expenses. Accordingly, the application should specify how these costs will be covered if applicable.
