December 15: Application Deadline for PET Scholarships and Grants



Are you looking for a way to expand or fund an innovative program at your school? The Outreach Grants from the WEMTA Permanent Endowment Trust are a great opportunity for you. These are three factors to consider when creating your application:

  • Does your project provide a direct and recognizable benefit to WEMTA members?
  • Does your project support innovation in school library media or instructional technology programs?
  • Is your project a community-based one that promotes professional partnerships?
Examples of previous outreach grants include a Learning4Life professional development program, a book study of Invent to Learn along with accompanying makerspace technology, and the integration of iPads into a literacy program for students in transitional housing.

The Permanent Endowment Trust also funds scholarships. One of these is the Lowell Wilson Scholarship. This scholarship of $1500 is provided to cover tuition costs of graduate level coursework in a licensure program. Preference is given to practicing, certified teachers in a Wisconsin school, including those working as library media specialists on an emergency license. 

WEMTA membership is a requirement for applicants for PET grants and scholarships.

Application forms are due Thursday, December 15th.
