    Business Honor Roll

    Our “Business Partners” make it possible for IPEI to fund vibrant educational opportunities, in and out of the classroom. When students are engaged, theyare more involved and passionate about their education and more motivated to learn. And it’s not just students: teachers are energized by IPEI grants that allow them to try new ideas and enhance the classroom experience. Learn More about becoming an IPEI Business Partner.

    Thank You Business Partners
