The Miami East Education Foundation (Foundation), established in 2003 as a component fund of The Troy Foundation, works to promote educational excellence in the Miami East Schools. The mission of the Foundation is to generate and distribute funds for grants, scholarships, and enrichment programs which will benefit Miami East students and the community. The Foundation is administered by a board of volunteer trustees, members of the community who are committed to helping provide the best possible educational experiences for Miami East students and the community.

Miami East Education Foundation 2026 School Personnel Grant Application

Grant applications are reviewed annually, in mid-August, by the School Personnel Grant Committee and the Miami East Education Foundation. Applications are due on June 15 (or the last Friday preceding June 15, if it occurs on a Saturday or Sunday). No applications will be accepted after the due date.

School personnel grants can fund special projects, programs, or practices that will enhance and expand student learning. All school personnel who impact the education and development of Miami East students are eligible to apply. The amount of funding available is contingent upon the amount collected by the Foundation during Viking Fest and will vary from year to year. The Foundation board may elect to offer partial funding for a project. Priority will be given to those who assist with Viking Fest.

Grant recipients will be recognized at the district-wide staff meeting in August. Those approved will be required to sign a grant acceptance document and provide a final report at the completion of the project or program. Both are now completed online via this grant portal. The applicant will receive an email with a link to complete them.
