At Northville Public Schools, innovation and impact are at the heart of our educational journey, and we are thrilled to announce the launch of the 2024-2025 Northville Educational Foundation (NEF) Grants! This year’s theme, “Unleash the Power of Impact, Innovation, and Ignition,” brings exciting opportunities for both staff and students, with $47,750 in funding available to fuel creative ideas that will shape the future of learning in our district.
New Opportunity for Students: NEF Student Grants
For the first time ever, we’re putting the power of change directly in the hands of our students! In an exciting new addition to the NEF Grants, students now have the chance to apply for funding to bring their innovative ideas to life. Whether it's a classroom project, an initiative that promotes positive change, or a unique approach to problem-solving, students can take an active role in shaping their educational experience. Each proposal must have the endorsement of a school advisor or teacher to ensure a successful partnership.
We can’t wait to see the amazing ideas our students will bring forward, and we are eager to support their creativity and leadership!
Special Grant for Cooke School
In addition to the district-wide funding, we are pleased to announce a special allocation of $10,000 exclusively for Cooke School, thanks to the generosity of a dedicated donor. These funds will support unique and impactful projects within the Cooke School community, providing tailored opportunities for growth and enrichment.
