Microscope Funding

Sorry — MSA doesn't have a national fund for school microscope purchases. As detailed on the previous pages, you'll need about $1000 for a school set. That amount can often be obtained from a local corporate source with a minimum of effort; many companies have "employee contribution funds" in addition to corporate grant programs. Local service clubs are another possible source. The MSA local society near you may have a set available for loan, and members of that society may be able to help you find sources. The Project MICRO Coordinator, Elaine Humphrey can help you write text for a grant proposal if that becomes necessary.
