Outstanding Opportunities for Outstanding Teachers
What If You Were Told to Spend the Summer Exploring a Passion? And Someone Will Give You $12,000 to Do It? It IS All about You!
•First paragraphs are key; be sure to exude passion immediately!
•Look at past winners to help with ideas.
•Foreign travel is often awarded, as well as projects incorporating the arts.
•Have someone else read your grant proposal to see if it makes sense to them.
•Request your letters of recommendation ASAP to be sure to give the writers plenty of time to complete them.
•If you've applied and been rejected before; don't give up. Some people have finally won on their second...or third... or fourth time!
And Something Available to All Students!
