What happens next.
Applications are reviewed as funding allows. Because the Foundation is in its early stages, grant availability may be limited. We nevertheless welcome serious inquiries from educators and institutions that believe Waypoints would strengthen their teaching.
Budget limitations should not be the final barrier to better teaching and more serious learning.
