• In awarding available funds, the Trust will give preference to the following:
  • Projects that will enrich the curriculum (as opposed to providing core curriculum, which is traditionally funded by state and local resources).
  • Projects with potential long-term impact.
  • Projects that will benefit a large number of students.
  • Inter-classroom, inter-discipline, and multi-teacher projects.
     
• After consideration, an HST director will advise the applicant of the status of the request.
