School & Library Resource Grant  

Share |


Eligibility: For Public Schools that are not Title I / III: Grants will be awarded to elementary, pre-k, and Intermediate schools by school district on a first come, first serve basis, and are open to every school and district in the United States (Non-US schools please email Grant Coordinator). Schools that have already received the grant are not eligible for a second year, but other schools within the district are welcome to apply. One school at a time per district has been our general rule but we have recently relaxed that to accomodate larger districts and are now awarding grants for up to 20% of a district's schools. If a district has reached its limit, we will send a nice regret email back to the school contact and copy the district contact. Schools that applied in the past, but were not awarded the grant, are welcome to re-apply.

*   For Title I and Title III Schools: 2000 grants are awarded annually to Title I/III schools and allocated by state based on a prorated share of Title I Grant Funding to Local Educational Agencies. Within each state, it is first come first serve regardless of school district. Click here to see Title I/III School Grants by State.

*   For Private Schools: We allocate 1250 licenses by state on a first come first serve basis prorated by the number of Private Schools in each State.

***** If you do not receive an email from Sylvan Dell within 1 business day, you should assume there is an email delivery problem with your school's security filters and we ask that you call us at 877-958-2600. We then try resending our set-up email to personal email addresses*****

Research Feedback: We want this to be a win-win for everyone involved, and in an effort to improve the process and capture lessons learned, we would appreciate feedback. We ask that, after schools have had a chance to use and assess the license, you and your teachers complete our Grant Awardee Survey Form or just email your thoughts to . Here are some of the things we'd like to know:

  • A few examples of how the eBooks and online educational material are being used
  • If used from home through the school's secure website, any comments on how that process worked and any feedback from students / parents.
  • We would appreciate hearing any recommendations regarding technology, content and/or process.
  • We don't want the feedback constrained by questionnaire and ask that you tell us anything else that you think we need to know.

Computer/IT Requirements: All that is needed is broadband internet access. The eBooks will display with Windows or Mac operating systems and do not require special software, plug-ins or eBook reading devices.

Once you submit your application, we will review it and get back to you by email within two business days. If you do not receive an email within two days, you can assume there is an email delivery problem and you need to call us at 877-958-2600 or email us. We have seen repeatedly, that school filters block our emails and we have to work by email. Please check with your IT folks and make sure that emails from our domain: @sylvandellpublishing.com are on your school's safe sender list, specifically the following email addresses:

      

The email we send will have three set-up options including your school's unique site code, desktop icon, and a url link to your site license. Click here to see Set-up Options and Instructions
