Before submitting a SCALE Affordable Learning Grant application, make sure that your proposed activity is eligible for a Grant and identify which funding tier you should apply for: Tier One (up to $1,000); Tier Two ($1,001-$2,500); or Tier Three ($2,501-$5,000). Information to help you pick the correct tier is provided under Scope of program, but if you’re not sure, ask us (email Ellan Jenkinson at ejenkinson@pascalsc.org).
Each application is reviewed on criteria common to all applications. Consult the review criteria that apply to all applications before drafting your application.
Applications should be submitted via the SCALE Affordable Learning Grant Application form by the Project Lead.
