                        Excellence in Education Grant Program (EEGP) Overview

                        The Excellence in Education Grant Program (EEGP) is the cornerstone of the Foundation’s efforts to provide meaningful and enriching educational opportunities for students in the Waltham Public School community. 


                        The EEGP is open to Waltham Public School teachers, staff, administrators and parents. The Program offers small grants up to $1000 for projects typically benefiting a single classroom, and major grants of $1000 to $5000, which will benefit a larger number of students. 


                        Initially, there will be one EEGP cycle each school year. Proposals are due by September 16, 2011 and grants will be awarded in October, 2011. Grants are to be used by the end of the grant cycle, unless special permission is granted.


                        • All applicants must complete the grant applicant form, in addition to the grant proposal form.
                        • There are two grant proposal forms.
                        • Be sure to use the correct form based on the amount of funds you are requesting.
                        • Keep in mind that all signatures are needed in order to be considered.

                        Sally Elizabeth Peters Enrichment Program (SEP Grant)


                        The Sally Elizabeth Peters Enrichment Program is made possible by a personal donation from Dr. and Mrs. Alan Peters in memory of their daughter, Sally.

                        Sally was born in Edinburgh, Scotland and came to the United States with her parents and older sister in 1966. She was a student at the MacArthur Elementary School and attended the Waltham Junior and Senior High Schools. Sally earned college degrees from Bay Path College , Boston University , and Framingham State College. Sally was also a member of the Waltham Symphony Orchestra Chorus, the Reagle Players and a keen photographer.

                        The purpose of this program is to honor the memory of Sally by enriching student and teacher experience and learning.

                        The Sally Elizabeth Peters Enrichment Program encourages the submission of proposals that focus on arts, drama, theatre and science and that;

                        • Demonstrate innovation
                        • Enhance collaboration (i.e. require faculty, schools, departments, or students to work together in order for the project be successful)
                        • Enrich students’ growth
                        This program offers a grant up to $5000 to teachers, as well as junior and senior high school students.
