Education Foundation of South Brunswick Announces Grant Winners

Foundation awards about $12,000 in grants to township schools.

The Education Foundation of South Brunswick continues to seek ways to provide educational support for students and teachers through programs and projects that fall outside of the district's operational budget.

The foundation, which includes several former South Brunswick Board of Education members on its Board of Trustees, has granted over $59,000 total, including a $25,000 grant awarded to VTN to completely update their studio production capabilities. The foundation also awarded $10,000 in scholarships to graduating SBHS seniors through June, 2012.

The foundation last week announced the successful grant applicants for its 2012-2013 grants program.  Applicants could be awarded up to $500 for an individual grant or up to $1,000 for a cooperative grant.
