Grants

Grants are due by May 8th each year and applicants are notified by June 10th.  Forms can be downloaded from this website or can be obtained in each schools Principal's office or the Superintendent's office.  The UEF has funded grants in the past dealing with music, the arts, athletics, innovative curriculum enrichment, and science.

All members of the teaching, administrative, secretarial, and paraprofessional, including current and past grant recipients are eligible to apply for a grant from the UEF.  Past grant recipients must have submitted the Final Report Form in order to be eligible for another grant.  Community members who wish to collaborate with school professionals on an educational project are encouraged to do so.

Funds are available only for projects that supplement, not supplant, the usual educational activities that are supported by the Uxbridge Public School System.  Funds are also not available for capital equipment, student field trips, transportation, salaries, or stipends.

There are two maximum award amounts, both lasting for one year.  The Mini-grant is for $500 and the Maxi-grant is for $1000.  Please note that a project may be approved and funded at an amount lower than requested in the applicant’s proposed budget.

The UEF operates on an annual cycle, similar to the school’s fiscal cycle, beginning July 1st and ending June 30th.  For example, if an application is approved on May 8th, funds become available July 1st, and the project – and attendant paperwork – must be completed by September 1st of the following fiscal year.  However, if the grant can not be completed during this time a grantee may request an extension by using the grant extension form.  Invoices are to be submitted to the UEF, which will write checks to the appropriate vendor.  Please use the Purchase Order Form.

To apply for a grant please submit 3 copies of the grant proposal, including a completed cover sheet, the project description, and an itemized budget to:
