Grants Tomb!

Who is burried in Grants tomb anyway? The first grant I looked at was the Qwest foundation learning technology grant. This grant was awarding 10k to the best project idea. Overall it was giving away 100k! You would think that a cable company would be able to give more though! I like the idea of making the grant a competition, but I think that it draws attention away because a lot of teachers may go overboard with their proposal and then find that it may be too much to handle. Plus 10k isn't going to go as far as some people think! The second grant was of course a NIKE grant. Bet you couldn't have guessed that one! This grant actually comes from Mr. Jordan himself. It's called the Jordan Fundementals Grant. Of course you have to give money away when your that stinking rich! This grant is very basic though. Just your run of the mill qualifications, 50% poverty level, k-12 teacher in a public school. They award 10k also, but if your project requires more, they will actually consider giving you more!
