The Education Foundation of Sarasota County (EFSC) has announced classroom and school-wide grant awards totaling $225,235 for the 2019-20 academic year. Nearly 34,000 students will be impacted by the awards, which directly benefit 244 teachers and 43 K-12 schools. The grants are funded through EducateSRQ, a signature program of the EFSC. The scope of grants ranges from $250 for individual classroom consumables to $10,000 for school-wide, multidisciplinary learning experiences. All Sarasota County district teachers and principals are eligible to apply.

The immersive grant, while not open for application, is included in the awards total of the EducateSRQ program.
