FAPSETA & FEEP

In 2018 the Falcon Educational Enrichment Program (FEEP) was developed as a part of the Faribault Area Public Schools Educational Trust Association (FAPSETA).  The mission is to secure financial support for specific classroom resources and learning opportunities that are beyond the school district’s budget. Applications for grants are submitted each year by teachers for innovative project ideas that enrich the educational experience of students in the Faribault school district.  The FEEP program committee reviews each grant and in the grant cycles to date has awarded over $71,000.  Grants have supported project materials in science, technology, STEM, literacy, the arts, physical education, robotics and cultural awareness.  Students in all grade levels and across all buildings in the district have benefited from the FEEP grants.

Donations to FEEP may be made by visiting our parent organization FAPSETA by using the FAPSETA Website link above.  Faribault Public School staff wishing to donate through payroll deduction may use the FAPSETA Donation link, also above.

FEEP Grant Application

Because costs of higher education continue to increase and financial support for K-12 programs lag behind growing needs, FAPSETA seeks to secure funds to help meet these needs. The Falcon Scholarship Funds focuses its activity on granting scholarships for graduating students. The Falcon Educational Enrichment Program (FEEP) secures support for specific classroom and learning opportunities that are beyond regular classroom financial support. Teachers may apply for these funds, and a screening committee determines the amount and the programs that will be funded.

The community unites to help its own and rallies around those seeking higher education to give them a boost and ensure they reach their highest potential. Students benefit from the recognition and community members share in the pride and excitement of contributing to their future success. Many have contributed generously and we have awarded over $1,246,000 to nearly 1,200 students. For a contribution of $20,000 or more, contributors may have a named scholarship awarded, as earnings allow.
