In keeping with our mission to connect our classrooms to the community and support teacher ideas, IPEI has created a special grant round to support our teachers and ICSD professionals during the current social-distancing and distance learning events occurring as a result of COVID-19.
This funding will be made available to support the efforts of ICSD employees and benefits students who are
participating in distance-learning programs. These grants will only be made available during a time period while ICSD schools are practicing remote
learning.

Support for these grants come from individual donors and businesses who sponsor teams at IPEI’s annual Adult Spelling Bee.
