Funding teacher-led literacy projects

The Linda Arnold Mini-Grant

 The Linda Arnold Mini-Grant is a small grant in the amount of $300 awarded to teacher-initiated projects that promote literacy learning for students of any age. Applicants must submit the appropriate materials, and grants will be rewarded after review of the ACTELA Mini-Grant Nominating Committee and ACTELA Board. Teachers who receive the grant must implement the proposed project during the fall semester after being awarded the grant in the spring and submit a project/budget report.
