Pasadena ISD Educators – Apply for a Mini-Grant!

The Education Foundation invites all Pasadena ISD educators to apply for a mini-grant designed to support innovative and engaging classroom projects that prepare students for success in the 21st century. Each year, the Education Foundation awards mini-grants to fund campus or classroom initiatives that enhance student achievement. Applications are carefully reviewed by a panel of readers and evaluated by a selection committee comprised of Foundation Board Members. Grants of up to $5,000 are available.
