The Grant Process

The EEE is proud to offer a Grant Program to educators in the Elwood School District. Our goal is to provide financing for educational programs and services NOT covered by the school district's budget. If you are a full time staff member of the Elwood School District you are eligible to apply for a grant to fulfill a need. Grants are awarded at two levels:

Mini Grants - up to $500

Star Grants - up to $7,500.

WINNERS WILL BE ANNOUNCED AT A BOARD OF EDUCATION MEETING IN THE SPRING. DATE WILL BE FORTHCOMING.
