WEF is accepting online applications for the 2019/2020 grants through 10/25/2019.
The WEF Grant Program supports innovation and promotes excellence in the Wakefield Public Schools by seeking to enhance and enrich the educational experience of every student in the district.
Scope
Grants are intended to be grade or classroom specific requests to help support the
Wakefield Public Schools in areas such as Educational Enrichment, Environmental
Studies and Innovation, and the expansion of STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math) learning options for students. The subject matter to which a grant can be applied must impact a group of students in the Wakefield Public Schools. The group may be as small as a single class, or as large as the total school population (K-12). Stand-alone grant requests are encouraged, but a request for a large-scale program, that can be divided among several funding sources, will also be considered.
Eligibility
All teachers, teacher aides, librarians, department heads, principals, assistant principals and PTO presidents within the Wakefield School Department may apply.
Grant Categories
Enrichment
Environmental Studies

Maximum award under each category: $3,000
