​Student Grant Program

Purpose:
OATAG wishes to assist local students augment and enrich their education by awarding grants.  Grants may include, but are not limited to:
  • An original project that promotes the TAG student's academic, creative, and/or leadership potential.
  • A research or community project involving the TAG student.
  • An opportunity to participate in an activity/class that is of particular interest to the student.
Students must have an adult mentor for their project.  The mentor may be a teacher, an activity or community advisor, or a parent/grandparent/guardian.  We expect that the application and the project can be completed with limited adult assistance, however consideration will be given for the age of the applicant.  We wish to hear from the student in their own voice.  Assistance from the mentor may include dictating answers to prompts to the mentor, or assistance with uploading a recording of the student’s speech.

Grant Award:
The maximum amount of a grant is $500.00.  The OATAG Grant Committee will determine the number of awards based on the grant requests and available funds.
