Stewardship Education Alliance announces 2022 Winter Grant Cycle
The Stewardship Education Alliance announces the opening of its Winter Grant Cycle. Teachers working in any school in the towns of Appleton, Camden, Hope, Lincolnville and Rockport are invited to apply for a grant that furthers the S.E.A. mission: to increase awareness of ways to be better stewards of our local watersheds.
In the past, S.E.A. has funded grants for professional development, tools and equipment for water sampling, night amphibian observation, building a nature trail, studying salmon, and many others. Most grants will be in the range of $300 to $500.
Teachers may submit applications beginning on February 21, and applications are due by March 7. Awards will be announced before the end of March.
“The S.E.A. Advisory Board suggested that this year we link the grants to projects in which students collect and share data,” said S.E.A., in a news release. “We think people of any age can do that, and in the process learn a great deal about environmental research and the natural world.”
Ideally, projects will foster field work, and collecting and sharing data. So please think of a course you would like to take or a program or project you want to do with your students. If you want advice in putting a proposal together, send an email to S.E.A. at (info@StewardshipEducation alliance.org). Members of the S.E.A. Board are available to help.
