NJEA believes that educators’ ingenuity should not be stifled by lack of funds. That’s why the NJEA Frederick L. Hipp Foundation for Excellence in Education has awarded another 10 grants, including three continuation grants to support creative projects by public school Educators totaling $68,412. This amount includes $10,000 from Visions Federal Credit Union.
Continuation grants are additional grants for programs that had received a grant in a previous year.
Established in 1993, the NJEA Frederick L. Hipp Foundation for Excellence in Education is dedicated to supporting projects that will enhance and improve the learning environment in our schools. Since its creation, the foundation has awarded more than $2.5 million in support of 470 innovative educational projects that represent a bold, fresh approach by public school employees.
