Professional Development
Giving our educators the opportunity to advance their skills and knowledge directly benefits our students. The LAPS Foundation supports professional development for educators by paying for conferences, courses, and more.
The fall grant cycle is from September 1 through November 30 and the spring grant cycle is from February 1 through April 30.
See below for some examples of past grants.

“Thanks to the grant provided by the LAPS Foundation, I was able to attend a prestigious music education conference. While there, I took advantage of many beneficial classes and workshops that gave me ideas, materials and techniques I could bring back to use in my classroom and share with colleagues right away and develop for the future.”
–Zane Meek, Los Alamos High School Music Teacher, Recipient of a Professional Development grant
