The Fayette County Education Foundation is a 501(C) 3 nonprofit organization that solely supports the Fayette County Public School System by providing funding that enhances the academic achievement and advancement of students and teachers. Since 2002, the Foundation has put thousands of dollars into Fayette County’s classrooms in the form of teacher grants. Visit http://fayettecountyed.startlogic.com to learn more.

           

The Foundation will award its first-ever teacher STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Science) grant requests this October. Many of our schools are in the process, or preparing to start the process, to become STEM certified through the Georgia Department of Education. The Foundation's goal is to assist schools with the purchase of items and equipment needed to facilitate STEM-related projects and programs. Grant awards will range from $200-500 per teacher.
