I didn't find a whole lot of grants for journalism teachers, but I found a lot of awards to apply for that have grants as the awards. There was one grant geared toward starting a journalism program in lower-income, minority-majority schools, but I'm hoping to get a job in a school that already has a journalism program.
One grant I stumbled upon was from USA Today. If a school partners with the paper, they receive copies of the paper. It includes a lesson plan basedon that day's stories, and teachers get access to online teaching guides.
The tips for grant writing were really helpful. I don't know how often I'll be writing grants, but those 10 tips would be a great tool to write an effective grant.
The Sprint grants also seem to be a great resource because it allows teachers to ask for exactly what they need in the classroom. The website also provides a detailed description of what they're looking for in the proposals, which would be incredibly helpful for those applying.
If I had $2500 to spend for a journalism classroom, I wouldn't even know where to start. First, I would have to determine whether print or broadcast journalism needed more. Both could probably benefit from new cameras, so I would look into that. This might allow more students to be able to learn how to use the cameras. We might need newer software for the computers in order to produce more professional publications and broadcasts.
