The 2025 FELS Grant cycle is now closed.
Thank you to all LSRHS Faculty and Staff who have submitted applications for consideration.
The FELS Board will be meeting soon to review all 2025 FELS Grant applications. The Board will reach out to applicants directly with any questions.
FELS GRANT APPLICATION INFORMATION
Are you an L-S teacher or staff member that is inspired to inspire others?
Do you have an interesting project you would like to do during vacation or free time that will promote your professional or personal growth?
Would you like some funding for that project and be willing to share what you have learned with the community?
Some guidance to consider for future application cycles:
Grant proposal quality, inclusive of why the experience is important to you and what you seek in undertaking the experience, will be significant factors for consideration and could impact the number of grants awarded this year. This year’s grant funding will not exceed $2500.
Additional guidance for applicants:
- Projects aren’t limited to your teaching discipline or subject area, but may be related.
Please visit the Past Grants section of the FELS Website to review the wide variety of grants awarded in recent years. Feel free to reach out to former grant recipients to discuss their proposals and experience. - Be deliberate in your application. Take time considering and writing your proposal.
Substance, depth of content, impact on your professional and/or personal growth, potential impact to peers and students, and completeness of applications are all highly regarded in our grant evaluation process! - Grant recipients are asked to share the benefits of their experience with the L-S or the Lincoln or Sudbury communities. This can be as simple as granting an interview with the Lincoln or Sudbury newspapers or the Forum or joining a FELS meeting. It can also be as extensive as a public forum at L-S or the Goodnow or Lincoln Public Library, for example.
- Projects must be completed during vacation or free time.
- All proposals will be reviewed “blind,” with names redacted.
Applicants’ names will only be revealed to FELS Board members after the Board has voted its allocation of funding for this year’s cycle. - FELS does not fund grants related to or to be used for the purposes of:
- The pursuit of a graduate degree
- Raising money for other organizations
- Any religious organization or affiliation
- Projects that could be reimbursed by L-S, or meals.
- Important: Please note that FELS does not always fully fund proposals.
Applicants should consider access to/availability of additional funding sources to cover any remaining costs related to their experience. - Substance, depth of content, impact on your professional and/or personal growth, potential impact to peers and students, and completeness of applications are all highly regarded in the evaluation process!
