The Mini-Grant program offers several funding options to teachers. While the application and review process are the same for each, teachers should use these options to guide them in the development of their projects. All mini-grants are funded up to $1,000. Projects must directly involve and benefit students in order to be considered. General Classroom Mini-Grants General mini-grant projects incorporate a learning process for subjects or concepts not in the math, science or service learning fields. From the arts and history to character education and physical fitness, general classroom mini-grants invite opportunities for innovativeness and creativity that extend beyond and complement current curriculum or school requirements. Mylan Math/Science Grants Math/Science Mini-Grants, sponsored by Mylan Charitable Foundation, focus on curriculum-based activities in the math and science fields. Math/science mini-grants use unique techniques to teach new, complex concepts and create an overall understanding of those concepts. Projects make these core subjects come to life in a very real way and work to keep students engaged and interested. State Farm Service Learning Grants Service Learning Grants, sponsored by State Farm Insurance Companies, include community service activities that connect course content with actual experiences. Service Learning uses hands-on activities to help students master subject material. These projects fuel an interest in civic responsibility by teaching students about opportunities and how they are able to help. A time that allows students to reflect on their service experiences, is an important and valuable part of Service Learning projects.
