Connecting Schools Grant 2024-25 update

This year’s Connecting Schools Grant round will open on Monday 28 October at 9am and will close on Friday 15 November 2024 at 5pm.

The later grant opening date is to give schools extra time to post stories and boost accreditation levels following the delayed launch of the login pages of the new website. This will help schools apply for the highest level of funding when grants open.

There will be four tiers of grant funding available, ranging from $1,000 to $20,000, with funding tiers linked to program accreditation levels.

Eligibility

To be eligible to apply for a grant in Term 4, schools must:

• have submitted a Start of Year Hands Up Survey (HUS) in Term 1 2024, or where a school signed up after Term 1, completed their first HUS within two weeks of joining the program.
• achieve silver accreditation or higher in 2024, prior to grants closing.
• commit to submitting an End of Year Hands Up Survey in Term 4 2024 and start of year Hands Up Survey in Term 1 2025; and
• have fulfilled all acquittal requirements for previous Connecting Schools Grant funded projects.

What do schools need to do right now?

Keep running activities, including celebrating WA Bike Month in October, submit your surveys, and post stories on our new website to reach your highest possible accreditation level before the grants close.

We’ll be in touch with more information about the application process at the beginning of Term 4, concluding with an online briefing on Wednesday 23 October at 3.30 pm.
