Do you have the germ of an idea for a project?
or
Are you looking to bring something new to your classroom, but just don’t know what yet?

Do you need bucks to get started? 

Take this quick survey…

Is this a new project/partnership? Or do you want to change an existing project because of what you’ve learned?
Do the arts and academics support each other?
Can this be replicated in other classrooms?
Will sessions happen during school day?

If you answered yes to all of the above, then proceed! If you answered no, sorry, you are not eligible. Please call for technical assistance.

A project is INELIGIBLE if a NYSCA/ESP funded school project currently is in place or under consideration.
