Since 1983, the Mini-Grants for Classroom Projects arm of The Education Alliance has been rewarding West Virginia public schoolteachers for innovativeness and creativity that offers their students opportunities beyond current curriculum requirements. With more than $1.1 million awarded to-date, The Education Alliance provides funding for up to $1,000 per project.

 All applications must be postmarked by Tuesday, Oct. 23, 2007.

Eight review committees from across the state decide on winners for their own Regional Education Service Agency (RESA) based on the thoroughness of the proposal, adherence to application guidelines, innovativeness of the project and benefit of the project for students. Visit the Guidelines and Helpful Hints pages to learn more about program guidelines and for brainstorming and writing help.
