One of PSTA’s goals is to support our students in every aspect of the high school experience.  In recognition of how much co-curricular activities enhance and enrich this experience, the Lynbrook PTSA is offering grants to help student groups with their projects.

Is your club or group in need of financial help? Give us a proposal detailing your goals, projected expenses and the impact that you think your activity/competition/project will have.

Some criteria that will give your requests added weight in our deliberations:

1. The project or activity benefits or provides a service to Lynbrook High School or the local community.
2. Your group will be representing Lynbrook in a competition outside school.
3. Your club is taking on the exploration of an area of interest not currently being addressed at Lynbrook – either academically or through extra-curricular programs.

While we expect to give out many smaller grants, there will be a cap of $500 per group per year.   Since our funds are limited, we will sometimes have difficult choices to make.   If your request involves multiple items, please break down the cost and indicate their priority.

Please be advised, also, that PTSA bylaws do not allow us to fund political campaigns or propaganda that attempt to influence legislation.  In keeping with the secular nature of our public schools, we will not fund any endeavors of an overtly religious nature.
