ATP / AITS

The Artists in the Schools (AITS) Program is now under the jurisdiction of the Hawaii State Foundation on Culture and the Arts (HSFCA). Once a year, public and public charter schools may apply for arts grants of up to $6000 per school.

Schools are required to develop the grant application with an approved teaching artist from the Artistic Teaching Partners Roster. Many of these artists have been trained to integrate their art form with other core curriculum areas, such as language arts, math, social studies, and science, meeting both Fine Arts and other core standards.

The application deadline for the 2010-2011 AITS Program is May 1, 2010. Selected schools will be notified as soon as funding is secured (possibly in Fall 2010). Schools funded with AITS grant money must comply with the AITS program requirements.

Interested public schools that wish to apply for AITS Grants for the 2010-2011 school year should review the following documents.
