    FEPS accepting grant applications to support teachers and students

    By Jim BayerSeptember 30, 2021Updated:September 30, 20212 Mins Read

    The Foundation for Eden Prairie Schools (FEPS) is accepting applications for both its community partnership grants and its teacher and staff grants through the month of October.

    “Our goal is to fund programs that reach Eden Prairie students of all ages and ensure we support 21st century learning and serve under represented populations,” Executive Director Dr. Lisa Sisinni said in a press release. “From our earliest learners enrolled in our preschool program, all the way through the rigors of high school and TASSEL, FEPS is proud to be there each step of the way.”

    Last year, FEPS awarded grants reaching hundreds of students, funding kindergarten readiness and summer enrichment programs. It also added grants supporting telehealth counseling and tutoring to support the challenges of the pandemic and distance learning.

    Successful grant proposals should meet the following criteria:
