SRP is offering grants for teachers looking for ways to engage their students in the classroom. Teachers are invited to apply for classroom grants to enhance learning in the classroom in the areas of math, science, technology and social studies. The SRP Classroom Connections program offers up to $175,000 in funding and consists of:

  • Learning Grants by SRP, which provide funding up to $5,000 per school for projects and programs that incorporate innovative teaching strategies in math and science and meet performance standards as dictated by the Arizona Academic Standards.
  • Social Studies Grants by SRP, which supports the enrichment and enhancement of classroom instruction in the disciplines of history, geography, civics, government, and economics and meet performance standards as dictated by the Arizona Academic Standards. Up to $2,000 is available per educator.

Public, private and nonprofit schools serving students in kindergarten through 12th grades in Metropolitan Phoenix, Pinal County, Gila County, Yavapai County, Page, and St. Johns are eligible to compete for SRP Classroom Connections grants.  SRP will accept applications for 2010-11 grants until March 31.  Details here: www.srpnet.com/grants.
