Valley teachers can still apply for SRP education grants

Teachers have until Wednesday, Feb. 28 to apply for an education grant to help them enhance learning in the areas of math, science, engineering, technology and social studies.

Two opportunities for funding are currently available:

• STEM Learning Grants by SRP provide funding up to $5,000 per school for projects and programs that incorporate innovative teaching strategies in math and science and meet state-mandated competencies.
• History and Social Science Grants by SRP support the enrichment and enhancement of classroom instruction in the disciplines of history, geography, civics, government and economics and meet state-mandated performance standards. Up to $2,500 is available per educator.

SRP contributes more than $2 million to education annually through various initiatives including grant programs, free professional development workshops and resources for educators.

All educators in the Phoenix metropolitan area, Pinal County, Gila County, Yavapai County, and Page, as well as educators in the areas of St. Johns and the Navajo Generating Station, are eligible to apply.

Grant applications must be completed by a certified teacher.
