NJAGC is proud to announce the Instructional Mini-Grant allocations for the 2021-2022 grant period. The funding of NJAGC’s Instructional Mini-Grant Program represents the Executive Board’s commitment to the development of quality programs for gifted students in New Jersey.

As the new school year begins, think of ways you might supplement your G/T program with a boost from NJAGC through the Instructional Mini-Grant Program. The Mini-Grants Program was established to support and supplement local programs that provide appropriate gifted education for students in Grades K-12. Grant applicants may seek funds for use during the last quarter of 2021-2022 or for the first half of the 2022-2023 school year.
The Mini-Grant Coordinator must receive proposals by December 18, 2021. The Mini-Grants Committee will review all proposals and Mini-Grant recipients will be announced before the Annual NJAGC Conference in March 2022.
Grant proposal forms may be obtained by contacting the NJAGC office or by downloading the form at the bottom of this page. The requirements, guidelines, and directions listed on the form must be followed. Applicants not following the grant requirements/directions may be excluded from consideration. Applications must be submitted via e-mail.
Please direct all questions to the Instructional Mini-Grants Coordinator at minigrantchair@njagc.org.
Don’t delay! Brainstorm with colleagues, parents, students, and community resources to create proposals that will enhance the services for gifted students in your school.
