Massive Education Grant List

I recently found this page:

http://www.edweek.org/ew/section/grants/index.html

It has a massive list of education grants. Many are targeted for K-12 schools, but some would be applicable to us. Since this is a large list, I will highlight a few on occasion.

First up this week: the Best Buy te@ch program.
Information here from last year:
http://www.edweek.org/ew/section/grants/grant_info.html?grant_id=3182
The new application process starts up in July for 2007.

I understand that they try to give out at least one award per store. Note that you have to be within 50 miles of a Best Buy Store (depending on how you measure, we're just on the edge of that radius). They give you a dollar amount and prefer that you spend it on items in their store. Also, the award is only given to K-12 schools/teachers, but we can certainly partner with them to assist in the grant process.
