Beckley Area Foundation Students First Grant Program supports creative and innovative instructional projects for Raleigh County classroom teachers, Pre-K through 12th grade. The maximum request is $750 and projects must directly involve and benefit students. The 2026-2027 application closes September 20, 2026 at 11:59 p.m. The official public source does not state the controlling time zone, so Atlas is holding this record in Draft pending authoritative clarification. Applications use blind review and must not contain identifying information, including school or teacher names, mascots, Title I status, or school names in uploaded documents. The official source lists exclusions including ordinary classroom items outside an instructional project, recurring subscriptions, party food and consumables, uniforms and T-shirts, and speaker fees. Prior funded examples include health, human-body, life-saving, and autism-therapy educational projects. Do not publish, score, begin applicant outreach, or classify a direct-vendor path until the exact deadline time zone and remaining official application requirements are verified.
VERIFICATION HOLD - program is open, but the controlling time zone for the September 20, 2026 11:59 p.m. deadline is not published on the official page or public portal.
