Teacher Mini-Grant Program
The Teacher Mini-Grant Program supports the implementation of lessons that meet the Strategic Plan Goals and Objectives of the Ceres Unified School District.
The Teacher Mini-Grant Program is available to all pre-school, elementary, middle, high school and adult education teachers of the Ceres Unified School District.
The CUSD Foundation will grant awards of $500 each to individual applicants or $800 for group applicants (2 or more teachers) submitting mini-grant proposals that best address the purpose of the Foundation.
An applicant may request materials or actual dollar funding to address the proposed need. For example, a science teacher may request science equipment that could be purchased. Such equipment could also come from a donation from a local business that has the requested item.
Special Note: Items not funded by the Teacher Mini-Grant include: food, computers, fax machines or other technology related equipment.
