The Woodland Hills
Foundation
is pleased to announce
that our
2020 Scholarship
Applications
are now open.
Mini Grants are modest cash awards that help educators make
a positive difference in the learning experiences of their students
through innovative teaching ideas. Teachers across all schools in the
district are invited to apply by filling out an application which details
their idea, the population served and the potential impact of the
program. The focus of the Mini-Grants is to encourage innovative
teaching ideas. Board members and other volunteers collect and
review applications and select those ideas which they feel will have
the greatest impact. Grants are awarded based on the quality of
the idea outlined in the application and the potential impact of the
project on the learning of students and the community as a whole.
The Foundation also considers the degree to which the project is self-
sustainable after the first year of funding. All Mini-Grants are funded
through dollars raised through the work of the Foundation. Since
2002, 201 Mini-Grants have been awarded, totaling over $118,000.
The Woodland Hills Foundation is proud to announce our 2019 Mini-
Grant Winners:

hanks to a

on our site, making it easier for applicants
to submit their essays and other required

Winners will be selected based on academic
success, thoughtful and sincere answers on our
applications and a demonstrated commitment to
continuing education.
We recognize the difficulties today’s students
face in finding financial assistance while entering
the career paths of their choice. The Woodland
Hills Foundation is proud to help deserving
students of the Woodland Hills School District
achieve their full potential. Over 65 scholarships
totaling $100,000, have been awarded for
secondary education including technical,
vocational, and baccalaureate degrees.
