Special Grants
The Special Grant is intended to inspire collaboration amongst teachers to conduct larger-scale and longer-term projects to benefit their students. For the 2024-2025 school year, the EPAK Foundation will aim to disburse up to $75,000 in total to support the Special Grant mission, up to $5,000 per individual grant.
The Special Grant will be open to all EPAK partner schools for the 2024-2025 school year.
