For the 2012-13 school year, the Pasadena Educational Foundation is pleased to offer its signature Teacher Grant Program.  The deadline to submit an application has passed.

This year PEF has selected 55 grants that will in total receive over $42,000. Teacher Grant recipients will be notified in early December.

The goal of the Teacher Grant Program is to develop educational activities to improve and enhance student achievement. Grant projects must be student centered, related to the curriculum, and must demonstrate how they will directly benefit students and enhance and improve student achievement. Grants will be awarded to teachers in amounts up to $1,000.

If you are a PUSD teacher or parent interested in learning more about how you can seek out funding for your individual school and classroom projects, here are a few handouts from PEF’s recent series of grant workshops.
