Proposal Development Guidelines
The guidelines for proposals in each grant category are provided below. The proposal should be saved as a Word document in 11-point font before you begin the online application. You may format your proposal in the outline structure provided in the proposal guidelines. You will be asked to attach this document to your online application.
Do NOT include your name, your school's name, or any other identifying information in the proposal. This includes names of teachers, maps, mascots, clubs or anything that would identify your school. Proposals will be disqualified if any identifying indicators are present in the proposal.
