AMTS and MST Grants Launched

ORISS is excited to present the launch of the following grant cycles:  

AMTS Y2 AND MST Y8 Teacher Salary Reimbursement Grants

 

The guidance and resource documents below will walk you/your team through each step of the process.  All documents are available on our Funding Opportunities website.  

Resources & Descriptions

• Solicitation Notice
• A NYSED memo announcing the commencement of the AMTS Y2 and MST Y8 grant cycles.
• Guidance Document
• Addresses the “Who” “What” and “Where” questions:
• Who is eligible for the reimbursement funds?
• What (generally) is needed to complete a claim?
• Where should an institution “go” to start a claim?
• When the claim submission is due?
• (Portal) Application Instructions
• Breaks down each step of the application process.
• Addresses the “How” questions:
• How to access the application portal? Or add/change a user?
• How are allocations calculated?
• How do I upload my documents? Or troubleshoot other common issues?
• How do I submit my completed application? And how do I know it was received?
• How will I be reimbursed?
• Non-Portal Application
• While we highly recommend submitting via NYSED Business Portal, this “paper” application may be completed in lieu of the portal application and be submitted via email.    
• Grant Attestation
• Serves as a declaration, confirming the truthfulness and accuracy of information provided in a grant application and to the grant's terms and conditions. The attestation signature ensures compliance with grant requirements and promote accountability in the use of awarded funds.
• Master Schedule Resource
• In an ongoing effort to address communication gaps and enhance efficiency in our grant review process, we’ve created a Master Schedule Resource Tool. 
• This Master Schedule Resource Tool will walk schools through a self-assessment to determine which category most closely represents their school’s Master Schedule type.
• The document:
• Identifies Master Schedule category
• Describes key attributes for each type
• Illustrates common examples
• Documentary Evidence
• Addresses each of the required documents, noting format conditions as needed.
• Previously Approved/Anticipated Subjects
• Addresses the finite detail on which subject titles we have 1) previously approved for the MST program and 2) anticipate acceptance for the AMTS grant.
• Please be aware that subject/course names do not receive blanket approval.  Every curriculum will be reviewed for eligibility.
• FAQ
• These are real questions and real answers.  It’s a sneak peek into the grant’s inbox. 
• So that we can learn from our colleagues, we’ll update this resource periodically during the application period.

 

Next Steps

The Portal is OPEN!  Start the application process today.
