One Question Grant
The purpose of the One Question Grant is to support your creativity and enthusiasm for exploring the themes of the 2009-2010 One Question, "What are the social responsibilities of educated people?" and/or One Book, Three Cups of Tea. Through this grant process, the administration will provide resources to many TJ students and staff to implement new Social Responsibility projects in or beyond the TJ community. The grant can be used to support classroom activities, student club initiatives, service activities, and special events (including speakers). Grant awards can be used to pay for almost any expenses that support this year's One Question. Examples of expenses can include, but are not limited to, student research project materials, books for teacher lessons, supplies for an out-reach project, field trip costs, registration at a special conference, a banner for the school, etc. Individual students or a group of students may request up to $250 for expenses, and faculty up to $500 for expenses. Any requests exceeding these amounts will be considered based on funding availability, but you should explain a back-up plan in the event there are a large number of requests.A group of students in a club or activity should submit only one proposal. Individuals can submit only one proposal for consideration in order to give this opportunity to many students and teachers.
Grant awards will be selected by a school committee based on originality of a Social Responsibility idea, project feasibility, student impact, and support of the school's academic goals. The administration will try to support as many projects as possible, but some may not be funded due to budget constraints. Grant recipients must be willing to give a presentation or demonstration at next year's tjStar.
