Make a Mark Enrichment Grants
Make a Mark is dedicated to sustaining and extending the excellence of the Region 10 School District by providing a source of funding for expanded educational opportunities for our students. The Advisory Committee is responsible for recommending grants to be used for creative and innovative instructional practices that will enhance the learning of students. Grants will be given to teachers, administrators, guidance counselors, other school personnel or students who propose projects that would not normally be funded by the Region 10 Board of Education budget.
Make a Mark is pleased to announce that six grants, totaling nearly $3500 were awarded for the 2021-2022 school year! Scroll down to see the complete list.
Applying for a Grant
The Region 10 Make A Mark Advisory Committee has two grant species. One is the main grant while the other is a rolling "mini grant" of up to $500. Currently, our regular grant program is closed for applications for the 2022-23 school year. Applications for mini grants are accepted on a rolling basis throughout the year. See below for links.
