Supply Grant

The 2024 supply grant looks a bit different this year. The state office is excited to get exhibit boards out to teachers across the state of Colorado. Focused on equity, the state office understands that the exhibit category is often cost prohibitive for students. Therefore, teachers who need exhibit boards will each receive 1 box (10 exhibit boards) per school anywhere in the state, first-come, first-serve availability. Please fill out this google form to sign up for a box of exhibits. We will have days established for teachers to pick up their exhibits from the State NHDC office in November and December.
