My heartfelt gratitude to the Alumni Foundation for this year’s Faculty Grant! Thanks to your generous support, the girls were able to go all the way this season, winning the City Championship in Girls Varsity Lacrosse! The funding allowed us to review game film, purchase lacrosse sticks that truly made a difference on the field, and play scrimmages against extremely skilled teams. I want to sincerely thank both the Foundation office and alumni donors for providing us with the resources that gave our student-athletes the opportunity to win this year.”
— Coach Gianni Forni on behalf of the entire Girls Varsity Lacrosse Team
Educational Support Funding Opportunites
The most significant means to affect student learning is to fund grants to meet the unmet and unfunded educational needs of students. Each school year, the committee awards grants to worthy projects that significantly influence student learning.
The grant process is competitive in nature. A committee comprised of members of the Alumni Board and the Parents Association review all qualified grant applications and make recommendations on funding. The Principal and his designees serve in an advisory capacity. Based on the funding available, the committee will choose to invest in projects that best serve our school’s students and support the mission of Brooklyn Tech.
