Teachers in New Jersey and Delaware Encouraged to Apply for PSEG Environmental Education Grants
Deadline: June 15, 2012

Teachers in New Jersey and Delaware are invited to apply for funding through PSEG’s Environmental Education Grant program, which provides grants to educators who can link their students’ understanding of science, mathematics, computer science, and/or technology with an enthusiasm and appreciation for the environment.

The PSEG Foundation will award a total of $35,000 for the purchase of equipment, materials, and field trips that would not normally be provided by the school or school district. Grants of up to $3,500 per project are available.

Teachers of grades K-9 are encouraged to apply. Applications that focus on ideas for the development of one or more classroom units, expansion or refinement of an existing course or curriculum, and extension of classroom work to community or afterschool activities will be considered. Projects must be conducted over at least two years.

Teachers from public, private, parochial, and charter schools in PSE&G’s utility service area and PSEG’s Estuary Enhancement Program area are invited to apply, as are schools in New Jersey’s Salem and Cumberland counties and the state of Delaware.

For the list of eligible communities, program guidelines, and the application form, visit the PSEG Web site.
