Super Grant Overview

FCEF Super Grants are intended to be large (up to $10,000 or more for a "super-worthy" request), innovative and able to take our school system to the next level in a certain area.  Specific criteria for grant selection will include projects/items:

• for which funding is not available or is limited;
• that are innovative, initiatives needing “seed” money to develop, or new equipment;

• that are proven as valuable/worthwhile to the educational experience;
• that are a priority for the school system or for the students who will benefit from them;
• that benefit a large number of students, or a small number of at-risk/special population of students intensely;
• that provide a direct educational benefit, provide a benefit in terms of readiness to learn or an approach to teaching (may include staff development and/or training that would introduce enhanced techniques to the classroom); and
• that will not become obsolete with pending school renovations. 

Preference to projects that have an on-going benefit. The purpose of these Super Grants is complement PTA/PTSA teacher grants.  The FCEF Board envisions these grants as much larger in scope and cost than the typical teacher grant.

​Applications for new Super Grants will be accepted between June and October.
