Although one perplexed user wanted to know, "Who is this elusive Grant everyone talks about?" most had a pretty good idea of where to go to look for him. Among a handful of question marks and "You tell me" replies, there lay a veritable trove of grant-info sites that would surely thrill the most cash-strapped and downtrodden among us.
Responses varied widely based on academic subject area and location, from the National Science Teachers Association [2] to "My state's department of education" to even the Culinary Trust [3] (for those Edible Schoolyard [4] types out there).
To those who responded, "I don't know" -- and especially to the one who said, "I don't know and don't want to!" -- check out our choices: Edutopia [5], GrantsAlert.com [6], Grants.gov [7], and the U.S. Department of Education [8]. Here are a few extra ideas from other readers:
- Technology Grant News [9]
- Discovery Education [10]
- Teachers Network [11]
- SchoolGrants [12]
What do you think? Weigh in on the results.
