Over $261,000 was awarded in grants to teachers and schools for the 2008-2009 school year.  Since the Foundation’s inception in 1992, the Foundation has awarded over $2,500,000 in grants to Fort Bend ISD teachers and schools to fund innovative teaching ideas.

The Education Foundation has partnered with the school district and created the “Grants for Experts” program.  Fort Bend ISD teachers received the benefit of in-service training from nationally recognized education experts in such topics as classroom management, differentiated learning strategies, and character development.

The Fort Bend Education Foundation has also implemented additional programs such as Angel Gifts which provides teachers, just beginning their teacher career, a gift certificate to a local teachers’ supply store to help set up their classrooms.

Your participation in the annual “Back to School Scramble” helps make our mission a reality.  All proceeds from the “Back to School Scramble” benefit the Fort Bend Education Foundation.
