Grants to Schools and Teachers
For the 2011-2012 Grants to Teachers, a little over $9,000 was awarded to the member schools of the Blackstone Valley Education Foundation for grants that support the development of 21st century work and learning skills among our students. This year we received requests from 8 member schools with requests close to $34,000. Many thanks to the businesses and individuals who contribute to the Foundation and who participate in the annual Golf Tournament, and particularly of the Lampin Corporation in Uxbridge for their generosity and consideration for a stronger community of learners.
The Blackstone Valley Education Foundation invites public and private member schools throughout the Blackstone Valley region to submit proposals to its annual grant program that is kicked off every January.
Grants in any amount up to $5,000 are available to those teachers and staff among the member school districts who wish to propose innovative programming that connects schools and students to business and community efforts and that instill skills for 21st century careers.
