Deadline Approaching for DTE Energy Foundation Grants to Teachers for Math and Science Projects

DETROIT, Nov. 6  /PRNewswire/ -- The DTE Energy Foundation is reminding teachers that Dec. 1, 2006 is the application deadline for its 2007 Energy & Our World Mini-grants for Educators.

The program has awarded more than $750,000 since 1990 to teachers statewide to fund energy-related projects that encourage students' curiosity and excitement about energy, science, math and the environment.

Teachers of grades K-12 in public, non-public and charter schools within DTE Energy's service territory may apply for the grants.  Recipients will be selected by a panel of education personnel, who will look for the best interdisciplinary projects that incorporate problem-solving, decision-making and critical thinking skills.

Applications must include a detailed description of the proposed project, including the expected outcomes and an itemized budget.  Grants typically range from $50 to $250, but some proposals could be funded for more.

All applications must be postmarked by Friday, December 1.  Grants will be awarded in early 2007.
