NJAGC is proud to announce the Instructional Mini-Grant allocations for the 2020-2021 grant period. The funding of NJAGC’s Instructional Mini-Grant Program represents the Executive Board’s commitment to the development of quality programs for gifted students in New Jersey.
The Instructional Mini-Grants of up to $500 are available to all current members of NJAGC.
As the new school year begins, think of ways you might supplement your G/T program with a boost from NJAGC through the Instructional Mini-Grant Program. The Mini-Grants Program was established to support and supplement local programs that provide appropriate gifted education for students in Grades K-12. Grant applicants may seek funds for use during the last quarter of 2020-2021 or for the first half of the 2021-2022 school year.
The Mini-Grant Coordinator must receive proposals by December 18, 2020. The Mini-Grants Committee will review all proposals and Mini-Grant recipients will be announced before the Annual NJAGC Conference in March 2021.
Grant proposal forms may be obtained by contacting the NJAGC office or by downloading the form at the bottom of this page. The requirements, guidelines, and directions listed on the form must be followed. Applicants not following the grant requirements/directions may be excluded from consideration. Applications must be submitted via e-mail.
Please direct all questions to the Instructional Mini-Grants Coordinator at minigrantchair@njagc.org.
Don’t delay!. Brainstorm with colleagues, parents, students, and community resources to create proposals that will enhance the services for gifted students in your school. Let’s direct our mental, emotional, and financial energies toward quality education for New Jersey’s gifted and talented youth through this exciting opportunity.

NJAGC Mini-Grant Guidelines
- All applicants must be current members of NJAGC. You can check your membership status on the mailing label of your Promise Newsletter.
- Mini-Grant funds of up to $500 are awarded exclusively for programs implemented in New Jersey that are designed for students who have been identified to receive gifted education services.
- Only one mini-grant will be awarded per proposal even if more than one teacher submits his/her names on the proposal. One proposal may NOT be submitted in different segments. A mini-grant is for a proposal regardless of the number of teachers or schools a project might involve.
- There are no limits on how many years an applicant can submit a proposal, but the submission cannot be for the same project that was funded in prior years, although a multi-year project with a new focus is acceptable.
- Applicants may apply for and/or receive only one grant per funding year.
- Proposals must be submitted on the NJAGC form which can be downloaded from the Award section of NJAGC’s website www.njagc.org. Forms can also be obtained by emailing minigrantchair@njagc.org

- Decisions of the grant review committee are final. No appeals will be accepted.
- Grant recipients will be required to sign a publicity agreement and submit a final report that will give details on how to replicate the program in other schools.
