Every Child Deserves A Strong Foundation
Grants & Scholarships
GRANTS:
Thank you for your interest in the Springdale Public Schools Education Foundation grants program. SPSEF grants are designed to provide funding for projects that increase learning opportunities for students and reward the creative initiative of teachers.
SPSEF grants are funded by generous contributions of the Springdale Public Schools employees who elect to support the Foundation via a district payroll deduction, donations from private individuals, and contributions from corporate partners.
SPSEF’s mission is to promote and support excellence in education. One of the ways in which we accomplish this is by attracting private and philanthropic funds to sustain and expand educational programs that fall outside the Springdale Public Schools normal operating budget.
2013 GRANT APPLICATION:
The SPSEF Board of Directors is pleased to announce the availability of the 2013 grant funds. In this cycle, SPSEF will accept grant requests for any amount up to a maximum of $1,500 for the Foundation grants. In addition, the Foundation will also accept requests for:
One (1) $5,000 Chairman’s grant to fund a program/project that impacts an entire building or school, and
One (1) $2,000 Cox Communications grant to fund a technology-related program/project.
Grants will be awarded based on the quality and originality of the projects/programs. Teachers who apply may be asked to explain their project/program to the Directors prior to the awarding of the grant. Grant moneys will be distributed and coordinated by SPSEF.
