GEO GRANTS: Granting Educators Opportunities
The Peters Township Education Foundation will annually accept applications from Peters Township School District staff members for projects, programs, or materials designed to promote the education of students within the District.
GEO Grant applications will be reviewed by the Foundation’s Board of Directors and will be awarded in January of each calendar year.
New! The Foundation will now accept applications throughout the school year. Awards will only be granted each January, but staff members may submit applications throughout the school year and summer break for consideration. We recognize that writing a quality grant is a time consuming process and we want to allow flexibility for the staff.
