FAQs
Each year the Boise High Boosters notify all faculty members and coaches of our granting timeline. Faculty members and coaches must submit a grant application to apply for funding. A subcommittee reviews each application to verify need and determine the best use of funds to benefit the majority of BHS student body in each of the 3 A’s. The final recommendations are then sent to the board for final decision.
Grant money comes from funds raised at our Bi-Annual auction. Booster Membership funds are raised through our family and corporate memberships and given to the teacher, team or program those individuals designate.
Instructional materials and equipment are eligible. Items funded by the Boise High Boosters become the property of Boise High. Items which may be funded by the Boise School District, disposable items, and teacher training, stipends or salaries are not eligible.
