Stephen Shane Fincher Memorial Foundation Grant Opportunity
Stephen Shane Fincher Memorial Educational Grant Program- DUE: Nov. 1st, 2019
The Stephen Shane Fincher Memorial Foundation is now accepting grant proposals for the 2019-2020 academic school year. The Foundation wishes to enrich the learning experience by supporting improved educational opportunities for students and educators in the fields of mathematics, science, technology, and engineering.
Deadline: November 1st, 2019
Who may apply? Teachers, administrators, and schools
What types of grants will be awarded? The sky is the limit. We know that you have wonderful ideas to inspire your students and support their learning in the areas of mathematics, science, and engineering. Perhaps you need materials for a hands-on project or an authentic learning experience. Maybe there’s a professional development opportunity that you and other educators could learn invaluable information by attending. Would a field trip expose your students to the subject matter? Does your school need equipment for real-world application? Use this grant to innovate your instruction by supporting your students’ creativity and critical thinking skills.
Awards: The Foundation will award up to $5,000.
Priority will be given to projects that:
- Create a sustainable educational resource that can be used beyond the current school year.
- Integrate projects with current curriculum (math, science, and/or engineering);
- Provide learning that will have long-lasting effects; and
- Develop start-up projects
Rules for use:
Grant funds must be used as stated in the proposal. The deadline to use the funds is May 18, 2020, and all funds not used by this deadline will be returned to the fund. Principals will be responsible for ensuring projects are implemented and accounting report(s) are made to the Foundation by May 29, 2020. Materials obtained by the award of a grant shall become the property of the Cumberland County Public School System.
