Applications Available for DTE Energy Foundation Mini-Grants for Educators Programs Deadline: November 30, 2007
Last year, the foundation awarded more than a hundred grants to Michigan teachers to fund energy-related projects that encourage students’ curiosity and excitement about energy, science, math, and the environment. Teachers of grades K-12 in public, non-public, and charter schools within DTE Energy’s service territory may apply for a grant. Recipients will be selected by a panel of education personnel, who will look for the best interdisciplinary projects that incorporate problem-solving, decision-making, and critical- thinking skills.
Mini-grant applications must include a detailed description of the proposed project, including the expected outcomes and and itemized budget. Grants typically range from $50 to $250 each, but some proposals could be funded for more.
