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?

2020 FELS GRANT APPLICATION INFORMATION

Applications are now open!
Apply here: 2020 FELS Grant Application

Projects are not limited to your teaching discipline or subject area, but they may be related. Please see on the FELS Website the wide variety of grants awarded in recent years.

You are expected to share the benefits of your experience with the L-S or the Lincoln or Sudbury communities. That can be as simple as an interview with the Lincoln or Sudbury newspapers or the Forum, joining us at a FELS meeting, or as extensive as a public forum at L-S or the Goodnow Library, for example.

Projects must be completed during vacation or free time.

We do not fund: grants that lead to a graduate degree or to raise money for another organization, grants with any religious affiliation, projects that could be reimbursed by L-S, or meals.

The maximum grant is $2,500. Past grants have ranged from $300 to $2,500.

Please note that FELS does not always fully fund proposals, so other funding sources should be available to permit your proposed undertaking.

Please review your application and the instructions and include as much information as possible! Substance, depth of content and completeness of applications are all highly regarded in the evaluation process. All proposals will be reviewed “blind”, with names redacted. Names will only be revealed after the Board has voted its allocation of funding for this year’s cycle.

Applications are due Monday, March 2, 2020.

2019-2020 academic year grants will be awarded on April 7, 2020. The FELS Award Ceremony will be held in Conference Room B at LSRHS at 2:45 pm.
