Deadline approaching for SRP’s ‘Grants for Teachers’
Posted
Salt River Project is offering up to $200,000 in grants for teachers to use in their classrooms.
Educators looking for ways to enhance classroom engagement and education can apply for SRP "Grants for Teachers," which provides up to $5,000 per school for projects and programs that teach strategies in math and science and meet performance standards as dictated by the Arizona Academic Standards, according to a press release.
Additionally, up to $2,500 is available per educator in history and social science grants that support the enrichment and enhancement of classroom instruction in history, geography, civics, government and economics.
All educators at public and nonprofit private schools in metropolitan Phoenix, Pinal County, Gila County, Yavapai County, Page, St. Johns and Navajo Generating Station community chapters are eligible for SRP Classroom Connections grants.
The deadline for teachers to apply for this SRP grant is Tuesday Feb. 28. Information can be found at www.srpnet.com/grants or by calling and emailing 602-236-2798 or educate@srpnet.com.
Here are some past examples of how teachers are using grant funds:
Gilbert High School in Gilbert, $3,500: Funds were used to implement the CASTLE program: Capacitor-Aided System for Teaching and Learning Electricity.
Stapley Jr. High in Mesa, $5,000: Equipment was purchased to help eighth-grade students see how solar energy can be transferred into usable electrical energy.
Creighton Academy in Phoenix, $5,000: Materials were purchased to build a science and STEM lab with force and motion kits, robotics, gravity-related items and physiological materials.
SRP contributes more than $2.4 million to education initiatives, grants and partnerships throughout Arizona, in addition to providing free training and resources to educators throughout the state.
