Students can win environmental grants with the Planet Connect Grant Program
November 13, 2008
Going green can earn your students some serious green. Well, actually, it’s a grant, so the money would probably arrive in the form of a check, which often have more subdued hues like a light blue or yellow. What was I talking about?
Right. Saving the environment. Planet Connect will award $1000 to the best student-submitted solutions to local environmental problems. Winners will receive $500 to help fund their idea, plus another $500 for an environmental internship in their communities.
Students should apply before January 20, 2009. For a full list of guidelines, tips, and their application guide, click here. This is a great incentive to get your students thinking about how to be nicer to the planet, and possible fodder for a class project. Here’s hoping they earn some green blue yellow money. -BILL FERRIS
