**Arts Educator 2.0 - Mini Grant Proposal**

As part of the Arts Educator 2.0 Project, participants (who are current with required coursework in the program) are eligible to apply for a mini grant for funds to support their Personal Professional Development Plan (PPDP) goals. Below are the components which must be included in all mini-grant proposals. You may copy these elements in to your wikispace or in to a Word document to prepare your application. Submit your application to your mentor for suggestions on revisions before submitting it to the grant co-directors for approval of funding. The grant co-directors and mentors reserve the right to approve or deny funding of all applications. In some cases, the grant co-directors may recommend that your purchases be made directly through the Intermediate Unit in order to secure the best price available through bulk ordering.


 * Participants will be expected to account for all spending within their mini-grant award, providing the grant co-directors with receipts (no copies) for all purchases, and a brief summary of the impact of the grant upon personal learning outcomes prior to the end of the 2008-2009 school year.** Purchases may include items such as, but not limited to: software, online course registrations, memberships in professional organizations, registration for conferences, local workshops, textbooks, non-consumable equipment, or consumables specifically tied to PPDP goals.
