Final Grant Award Winners Announced
Posted by Sandra Sims on 03 Mar 2009 in: Grants, News
Last week we began announcing the winners of the Fall 2008 Grant award program. Today I’d like to recognize the final school that will be getting a grant, plus five runners up. Coincidentally it’s another North Carolina School. This time it’s the elementary school in Wadesboro.
I’ll write a special article for Wadesboro as well as each of the honorable mention schools soon. For now here is a list of all of the schools that won.
Congratulations!

Hi,
I am the Executive Director for the Mitsubishi Cement Corporation Educational Foundation. We are looking high and low for grants to fund our Elementary, Middle and High School science programs.
We are located in the small town of Lucerne Valley, California. Funding has always been scarce for us, but with the latest California budget cuts we are down to nothing.
Our schools have received absolutely no science funding for the last five years. They have books and that is all. The science teachers purchase supplies, for hands-on experiments and projects, out of their own pockets.
California State testing does not focus on science and thus any funding received is put toward the three basics on the test, reading, writing, and arithmetic.
These three basics are certainly important, but they do not teach a child to reason, and to form independant conclusions. Our children need to do more than learn, then need to learn how to think.
Will this grant be offered again? If so, when may we apply.
Thank you for what you do.

Hi Millie,
Funding for schools is so tough right now, especially in California! Unfortunately we will not be able to offer this grant again this year. I’d recommend that you go to http://grantsalert.com which has a lot of listings for schools.
There are also a lot of grant database and other links here: grants.
