Good Idea Grant Application 2012-2013
What is the Good Idea Grant Program?
The Public Schools of Hawaii Foundation’s showcase for innovation, creativity, and helping all children to reach high levels of achievement is the Good Idea Grant Program. The Good Idea Grant Program is designed to enhance innovation in the classroom and challenge teachers to think creatively and boldly. Mini-grants provide the needed financial resources not available through usual government channels.
Individual teachers may apply for a maximum grant of $7,500 for STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering & Mathematics) projects and up to $3,000 for all others. The number of grants awarded is dependent on the contributions generated by the annual fundraising banquet. Almost 4 million dollars to date has been awarded.
The Public Schools of Hawaii Foundation believes educational excellence begins in the classroom. It is our hope that successful innovative practices will be recognized and repeated throughout the school system to benefit all of our students.
