Grants available for

ALL CLUBS.  ALL SPORTS.   ALL ACTIVITIES.

 

The Booster Club's mission is to promote and offer support to extra-curricular programs at Issaquah High School.  

 

Booster Club membership dues and donations provide funds for grants, scholarships, and student recognition events and awards.  Boosters can only help if asked!  Boosters encourage any extra-curricular (sanctioned and non-sanctioned sports and clubs) activity made up of 100% Issaquah High School students that has funding needs to submit grant requests. All Grant Requests start with ASB.  

 

Grants are reviewed at monthly Booster Club meetings from August - May.  The deadline to submit a grant is May 1st.  Please see below for guidelines.  Please note, the Booster Club needs to receive appropriate documentation in order to release approved grant funds.  This can include receipts, a quote or invoice.
