United Education Fund Grants
The United Education Foundation (UEF) is once again sponsoring a Mini-Grant Program for the 2017-2018 school year. Mini-grants may be written in any academic area including, but not limited to, science, language arts, mathematics, health/physical education, fine arts and technology.
The purpose of the Mini-Grant Program is to encourage the development of innovative classroom or school-based curricular/instructional projects that will impact student learning. Mini-grants may be submitted by a single teacher or by a subject-area or grade-level team. The maximum award for each grant proposal selected will be $250. This amount may be awarded as a single project or as multiple awards.
The mini-grant proposals will be judged using the following criteria:
• Meeting identified needs of students
• Actively involving students in learning
• Addressing state/district learning standards
• Extending, enriching, or enhancing the "regular" program
• Making learning fun.
In addition, bonus points will be added to proposals that integrate subject areas.
Proposals must be received on or before Wednesday, September 20, 2017 at 4:00 p.m. Proposals received after that date/time will not be considered. Completed proposals are to be sent to:
