Classroom-Academic Grant Program Application

To assist the  instructors of Washington High School in providing quality instruction  and unique learning experiences for their students.

The Alumni  Foundation is looking to fund things that would not be covered by a  district/school budget or where that budget falls short. It could be art supplies (clay, paint) or science needs in the lab, et cetera.  We’re sure there are many needs to be funded, and we are seeking ideas  from administrators and instructors.

Instructors and/or staff complete a simple form asking basic questions to fulfill their academic needs:

-- Describe the needed materials, or proposed activity, and estimated cost.
-- Outline the student learning outcomes that would be facilitated and the number of students who would benefit.
-- Share any prior activities or partnerships that have benefited students.
-- Obtain approval of the Department Chair.
--  The Alumni Foundation Board members will review the application and may  invite the instructor to attend an Alumni Foundation Board Meeting for  an interview and final approval.

The funds will be provided to the school and/or directly to the instructor depending on the extent and benefits of the request.

The instructor  will provide the Alumni Board with a very brief report on the outcome of  the activity or impact of the materials/equipment purchased. Ideally,  this information will accompany photographs of the students engaged in  the facilitated activity, and could perhaps be reported in the school  newspaper, the Hatchet, and the Alumni Foundation website to raise  awareness among students, staff and alumni.
