With the help of a federal
earmark
sponsored by Senator Tom Harkin and continued support from major funder State
Historical Society, Inc., National History Day in Iowa is pleased to announce
the continuation of special programs and services for the 2005-2006 school year.
Emergency
Mini-Grants
In light of
budget restrictions facing many schools and families, the State Historical Society
of Iowa will be providing several small mini-grants to help Iowa schools continue
to offer high-quality history education experiences in conjunction with the National
History Day (NHD) program. Applicants may request funds to help make possible
research, project, or contest experiences that they might not otherwise be able
to afford. Project proposals could include (but are not limited to) things such
as transportation expenses for research days, workshops, or contest events; registration
fees for underprivileged students; substitute fees so that teachers may join their
students on research field trips or contest days; and project-related supplies
or photocopying funds. Applications are reviewed first come, first serve. Find
out more information and apply for an Emergency Mini-Grant.
Innovation
Mini-Grants
The Innovation
Mini-grants are intended to help both new and veteran NHD schools improve their
History Day programs. This grant could fund such projects as the purchase of books
or research resources for schools, substitute or travel fees to help NHD teachers
attend or judge at an event, honoraria for guest speakers, or stipends for teachers
for special projects. Applications are reviewed first come, first serve. Find
out more information and apply for an Innovation Mini-Grant.
