Language Arts Grants

How does my school qualify to apply for a Language Arts Grant?

With almost 10,000 schools participating in our contests each year, the top 10% of the schools who enter the contest receive a "Writing Achievement Award." This award entitles the teacher to a free copy of the anthology, a certificate of honor, special recognition in the anthology and qualifies the school to apply for one of two $250 grants that we give to each state or region. Each year, we award $17,000 to help build language arts programs.

Because the criteria to qualify to receive a "Writing Achievement Award" is a percentage of the schools participating, the exact criteria varies for each contest. In past contests, to qualify for a "Writing Achievement Award," a school needed to have over 50% of its entries accepted for publication with at least 15 entries being accepted to be published. In order to have 15 entries accepted, on average, a school would need to send in about 28 entries.
