The Eagle Pass Educational Foundation (“EPEF”) is a non-profit organization created to develop and expand educational opportunities for students of the Eagle Pass Independent School District. One of its principal goals is to identify and fund worthy innovative projects whose costs exceed the limitations of the district’s regular budget.
EPEF will direct it’s funding to single campus and single classroom projects. General project qualification guidelines;
- Projects must enhance and support the instructional program;
- Campus projects must be approved by the campus principal;
- Project grant requests must be submitted on time
EPEF has elected to limit the number of grant requests that will be accepted from a given campus to three (3).
Please follow the instructions below in order to apply for funding consideration. The process requires that all grant requests be submitted to EPEF by October 2, 2015:
The following items will not be funded by the foundation:
- Personnel stipends/salaries and staff development costs
