Teacher Mini-Grant Opportunities

The Princeton Education Foundation (PEF) in conjunction with the Office of Curriculum and Instruction is pleased to announce that we are now offering mini-grants for the next academic school year.  These grants are an excellent way for teachers to develop and share innovative lesson plans and to learn from other teachers in the district.  The goal of the mini-grant program is to give teachers the opportunity to design and implement innovative educational projects that will help to improve student achievement.   

Guidelines:
 

  
 §   The 2008-09 Mini-Grant Application  is short and easy to complete.

       §   The deadline for proposals is mid-October each academic year.

       §   Notification of grant awards will be made by the end of November of each year.

       §   Applications must be complete, signed and approved by building principal, and then forwarded to the Office of Curriculum and Instruction.

       §   All applications must be typed.

       §   Mini-grant allocations will range from $200 to $1,000 each.
