The deadline for submitting grant applications to York Suburban Education Foundation (YSEF) is February 1. We welcome your creative ideas and we want to fund them. So go to www.ysef.org, select the “Grants” tab and then select “Grant Guidelines and Application” from the dropdown menu. There you will find everything you need to complete an application to give your students new experiences.
Do you have fidgety students? You might want to apply for adaptive furniture. Or teach them yoga. Or lead them through a Brain Gym.
Would your students benefit from a field trip? We’ve sent groups to Broadway, and to visit college campuses, and to attend a Science Olympiad.
Is there a unique program you’ve heard of that your students might enjoy? We’ve funded tanks for raising trout for all of the 7th grade science classrooms, and greenhouses for 3rd graders, and drums for all elementary students.
Bring us your best ideas and let us help you bring them to fruition.
