The NATIONAL SIGNATURE PROJECT AWARD is awarded annually to an outstanding and innovative classroom project that exemplifies the very best in rural, place-based education. The National Signature Project Award is open to any rural classroom teacher in the United States, and it is jointly funded by the Rural Schools Collaborative (RSC) and the National Rural Education Association (NREA).

*UPDATE*
The grant application deadline is FRIDAY MAY 29, 2020 11:59 P.M.
Please note: We have extended the deadline for the National Signature Project Award. We want to also recognize that at this time, you may not exactly know how your project will be implemented, and that's okay. Conceptual proposals are just fine at this time.

We know that place-based education gives meaning to learning, strengthens the bonds between school and community, and instills pride in the cultures and histories of rural places and small towns. That's why we support classroom teachers across the country in creating these rich and meaningful experiences for rural students.

::::: APPLICATION GUIDELINES :::::

1. The instructional project budget should NOT EXCEED $2,500. Be sure and describe how you will use the funding in the appropriate space below.

2. Preference will be given to projects that begin during the fall semester of 2020. In addition, any level of matching fund support is viewed favorably by the selection committee.

3. The National Signature Project Award recipient will be contacted with a provisional award, pending written confirmation from a building/district administrator that the school and school district supports the project. Once we have written confirmation from the administrator we will make a public announcement on the award.
