Back To School – Special Projects

GreatIdeasGrant, Home

The BCET gives out Great Idea Mini-Grants to the teachers of Beaver County every year to the tune of around $25,000. However, funds are limited and sometimes teachers need a little bit more than the BCET can award. With the new school year under way, Donors Choose.org is a great way for the public to help fund Beaver County teachers' projects directly. Please consider supporting Beaver County teachers, who have requests for help, at the following link. https://www.donorschoose.org/donors/search.html?state=PA&countyName=Beavercounty&includeNearbyLocations=true
