Application period is open for the 2013-14 Matanuska Susitna Schools Foundation grant program, which supports excellence in the Matanuska Susitna Borough School District.

The foundation’s mission is to enrich and expand educational opportunities for children beyond those provided by the school district.

Administrators, certified staff, and students sponsored by certified staff may submit grant applications to serve the needs of Matanuska Susitna Borough School District students. Grants cannot be for one individual.

Grants for the 2013-14 school year are limited to $500 and people may only submit one application each year.

To apply, complete the application process online by Oct. 15. Applicants will receive confirmation of grant awards Oct. 26. Funds will be dispersed to the school for use during the 2013-14 school year.

Projects should impact multiple students; be completed within a year; exclude transportation costs; and should include sustainability, if start-up funds are requested.
