Description
The National Society of High School Scholars (NSHSS) offers this grant to help high school educators bring social-emotional learning (SEL) resources and curriculum into their classrooms. It supports educators’ efforts to raise awareness and effect positive change around mental health, with funding for resources that incorporate mental health practices into students’ learning.
The program responds to mental health being widely recognized as a crisis for young people. It acknowledges the continuing stigma surrounding mental illness while recognizing that more people are sharing their experiences and starting conversations. Applicants are asked to explain how they would integrate mental health practices into their curriculum, what resources they would purchase, and how those resources would benefit students.
