The Community Foundation of Western North Carolina (CFWNC) is seeking applications for its Learning Links Program to provide “hands-on” creative learning projects to their students.
The goal of this program is to increase students’ enthusiasm for learning and staying in school, ultimately through graduation.
These grants are made possible by the Ben W. and Dixie Glenn Farthing Charitable Endowment Fund and the Cherokee County Schools Foundation Endowment Fund.
Learning Links projects must:
- Involve students in projects of a “hands-on” nature. It is desirable that these experiential learning activities take place in settings beyond the classroom or in a learning environment that is unlike their normal daily classroom instruction.
- Implement innovative, imaginative and creative approaches to teaching that enrich the educational experience.
- Be aligned with the classroom’s current curriculum.
- Directly relate to the academic improvement of students.
Funding Information
- $800 per teacher
Eligibility Criteria
- Learning Links grants are offered to public schools in the following Western North Carolina counties: Avery, Cherokee, Clay, Graham, Jackson, Macon, Madison, Mitchell, Polk, Rutherford and Swain.
