Grant Guidelines: IH PTSA Grants Guidelines contain important criteria, application steps, cycle timeline, used to guide the grant review process. We do not fund transportation, hotels, or salaries, although we CAN fund guest speakers. If you are strictly a club, please apply for an ASB and/or Boosters grant. If your club has a tie-in to a class, you may apply for a PTSA grant.
Grant Application Form: Complete application, including attachments, additional information, signatures. Return application packet to IHS main office, addressed "ATTN: Principal Erin Connolly' IH PTSA Grant Application". Here is an example of a great grant application by Kelsey Early.
