Posted on: Thursday, 27 May 2004, 06:00 CDT
NEWARK, N.J., May 27 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- The New Jersey Business/Industry/Science Education Consortium (NJ BISEC) and PSE&G announce the 14th Annual Environmental Education Grant Program. The program is open to teachers of grades K-5 and 6-9 who teach in PSE&G's service area. Teachers who can successfully link their students' understanding of math, science, computer science, and/or technology concepts with an enthusiasm and appreciation for the environment are encouraged to apply. Applications that focus on the development of one or more classroom units, the expansion of an existing course or curriculum, or the extension of classroom work to community or after-school activities will be considered.
PSE&G/NJ BISEC Environmental Education Grants provide funding to carry out the project for up to two years. Grants are available in amounts of up to $3,500, and may be used to purchase materials and equipment, take field trips, and develop curriculum-related activities.
"Every year, our grantees come up with creative ideas," said Jo Ann Dow-Breslin, Manager-Community Affairs at PSE&G. "They always find ways to get their students involved in hands-on activities that directly support what they're learning in the classroom." Since the grant program started in 1991, more than $233,000 has been awarded to 103 teachers, and a number of them have partnered together on projects. The grant application deadline is June 7, 2004, and awardees will be announced in the Fall.
