A total of $3,000 in grants will be awarded this school year. Grants awarded must be implemented during the school year they were approved. The application form is below and may be submitted any time. The BSCO encourages early submission to ensure funds are available.

Mature Grants
After two consecutive years of receiving a teacher grant, a successful program may be considered a mature grant and fall under the Mature Grant budget item with funds allocated accordingly. Mature grants are considered Bonny Slope traditions and do not need to be re-approved annually, but will be re-considered each Spring when the budget is set.
Personal Professional Development Grants
The BSCO will not be awarding any personal professional development grants at this time. All professional development needs are being met through the district or the BSCO PYP contributions to the school. BSCO also provides a staff-wide PYP professional development presentation through its annual budget.
