Grants
To date, PEF has granted over $450,000 to our school district. We fund innovative programs that integrate technology into our curriculum, support the arts in our district, offer creative programs that enhance basic skills in math and reading, and enrich our students' educational experience with interactive school assemblies, field trips and the latest science lab equipment. With your continued support, we remain committed to serving the 7,200 plus Parsippany-Troy Hills students!
Do you have an idea that will enhance educational opportunities for Parsippany-Troy Hills students? We invite proposals from teachers, parents and students that further the areas of Academic Enrichment, Arts in Education, Science and Math, and Technology.
