​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.
