Sherrard Academic Foundation Classroom Grant Program
The Sherrard Academic Foundation awards classroom grants within the Sherrard School District each year for the purpose of supplementing supplies for classroom activities that may not otherwise be available.
The Richard Duty Memorial Fund for Elementary Education supplies $1,000 in grants each year through the Foundation to support Sherrard elementary school educators in their efforts to advocate excellence in their classrooms.
A committee designated by the Foundation will choose the successful grant applications based on merit. The individual grants will range in dollar amounts up to $500 each.
The funds approved through the grant process will be used for tangible items to benefit students in the classroom during the current school year and, hopefully, for years to come.
How to Apply for a Classroom Grant
To apply for a grant, the teacher must legibly complete an application and submit it to his or her building principal by the annual October dealine. Applications submitted after that date will not be considered. Applications submitted should include any additional information or supporting documents that will help the Foundation evaluate the request. Please do not submit your grant application directly to the Foundation. Only applications approved, signed, and submitted by the building principal will be considered for payment. Grant applications will be available from the building principals starting in September annually. Applications can also be printed by clicking the application link below.
Individuals receiving grants will be notified by their building principal in late October. The money provided in the grant should be expended and invoices, along with other supporting documents, submitted to the unit office for payment by January 1, following the grant award.
