Learning Grant Program

In the fall of each year, the Viking Foundation seeks proposals from District professional staff as well as advisors and coaches of school district sanctioned clubs for innovative student projects that are not covered by the school district budget. Submitted applications are reviewed for learning activities that:

• encourage excellence and innovation;
• would not typically be funded by the school district's professional development budgets;
• are cost effective with regard to the number of students and residents that would benefit;
• allow for continued impact on learning beyond the initial project.

Grants in the amount of $500 dollars are available for individuals and up to $1,000 available for team activities that meet the criteria. Since 2011, a total of twenty-two (22) grants have been awarded that have provided over $14,800 in funding for innovative projects that have had a positive impact upon thousands of students and residents.
