Faculty & Education Grants

Teachers! Do you have an idea that will enrich learning for your students?

Apply for a Falcon Grant.

Falcon Grants

  • Available for projects up to $1,000.

  • Funding is available at anytime during the school year.

  • Funding decisions are made on a rolling basis.

  • The availability of Falcon Grants is limited by the grant budget for the year.

  • Before applying, please read the important Grant Criteria below, including the Technology Notice.

GRANT APPLICATION

  • ​Before submitting your grant request, we ask that you check for similar technologies that may be available in the district or underused and available within your school/district.

    A grant report, preferably with photos, is due to KPSEF no more than six months after the funds were issued. Failure to do so will compromise your ability to apply for a grant the following year.

    Submission of a successful grant request authorizes KPSEF to use photos, students’ work, and other materials on our website and/or in other publicity.

    Grant approval, and the amount of any funding, is at the discretion of the KPSEF Board of Directors and is subject to availability of funds, granting guidelines, and KPSEF priorities.

    Collaborative proposals are encouraged. If a project spans multiple classrooms and teachers, please feel free to submit one proposal, even if it surpasses the $1,000 ceiling.

    What we can not fund:

    • Consumable items (food, ordinary teacher supplies, subscriptions, etc.)

    • Student transportation

    • Teacher professional development (PD)

    • Continuation of previously approved programs

    Grant Reporting:

    • A follow-up report is due within 6 months of receiving funding.

    • Please be mindful that any photos submitted with the report must meet the school district’s policy and approvals for photography.

  • Before submitting technology related grant requests, we ask that it be reviewed by KPS administration.​ Please mail Evan Hordyk at evan.hordyk@kentwoodps.org
