Over the past 24 years, the Sheboygan Public Education Foundation (SPEF) has awarded more than $1.65 million in grants to SASD schools, teachers, and staff for projects not covered by the district’s annual budget.

Grants are awarded twice a year, in November and April, for innovative and creative proposals selected by the SPEF Grant Committee and approved by the SPEF Board of Directors.

Teachers, students and community members can apply for technology grants, non-technology grants, or both to support innovative projects that enhance student learning in the Sheboygan Area School District.
