About SHPTA Enrichment Grants 

Each year, the Sunny Hills PTA allocates funds for enrichment grants. These grants are available to teachers, specialists, staff members, parents, and students (with an adult sponsor). New: Online Grant Submission Form - Click Here!  Or [Click here to download application]. 

The Enrichment Grant Committee reviews applications and evaluates them based on the following criteria:

  • Support of School Goals: How well the grant aligns with the school’s aim to raise the standards of learning.
  • Impact on Academic Achievement: The extent to which the grant contributes to academic success and program excellence for a significant number of students. Proposals that benefit multiple grade levels are encouraged.
  • Ongoing Benefit: Whether the funds will be used for materials or supplies that can positively impact both current and future students.
