Please submit the Grant Request Letter from the advisory teacher & the Korean Club Student President along with the School Information Form, Club Activity Plan Form, and Grant Plan Form by 11/12/21 to haemin.kecla@gmail.com. After careful review, we will select fifteen to twenty Korean clubs to receive up to a $1,000 grant. The club members have to be at least five members, including the advisory teacher, to apply for this grant.

The check will be issued to the advisory teacher. If you would like the check to be issued to the school name or PTA, please specify the name on the school information form. Please be advised that the check cannot be issued to a student.   

Please be advised that this grant requires receipt submission for the expenses. By applying for this grant, you agree that you will submit the Receipt Submission Form, along with the copy of receipts, by 05/31/22. If the Korean club fails to submit the receipts, it will be eliminated from any KECLA grant opportunities in the future.
