WFEE offers three grant programs for individuals and collaborative groups. Education grants fund innovative programs that directly involve students. Professional Development grants provide funding for teachers, staff, and administrators to enroll in challenging courses, attend national conferences, and study in university-sponsored seminars that would not be possible under current school funding. Student Innovation Grants fund student-driven projects designed to make learning more meaningful. ​

​

Through an initiative called powerED UP! WFEE has supported the integration of technology into all classrooms. WFEE has partnered with the Winchester Public School system to fund the purchase of student devices, management software and professional development. If you have a grant idea that involves the purchase of student devices or classroom equipment such as document cameras, Chromebooks, iPads, use this application to apply directly to the Winchester Public Schools. Save it as a document and email it to Jessica Palino at jpalino@winchesterps.org.

 

Teachers may also apply for funding to bring leading experts in education to Winchester to provide workshops and seminars in best practices. Grant ideas come from Winchester teachers, counselors, administrators and staff, as well as parents.
