bulletKnowing the frequent budget shortfalls in public and private education, the Georgia Mineral Society, Inc. wishes to aggressively promote Earth science education.  The Holly Camp Memorial Earth Science Education Minigrant Program intends to supplement the classroom teacher's operating budget.  These moneys do not replace funds normally budgeted for education.  The funds provide opportunities to enhance and enrich Earth science learning.
 
Examples of projects likely to be funded include, but are not limited to, the following:
 
     Purchase of Mineral/Rock samples or collections
     Purchase of software for Earth science subjects
     Materials and expenses for classroom experiments
     Computer or GPS hardware purchases
     Limited on-line service fees to provide geological research access to Internet  resources
 
This program is open to all middle school earth science classes and teachers within Georgia. 
 
Teachers need apply for the Earth Science Minigrant Program by filling out the updated forms on the GMS website.
