The NJ DEP Division of Fish and Wildlife would like teachers to be aware that the Physical Education Grants Initiative application deadline has been announced! These grants provide up to $2,500 to certified teachers to help establish a fishing and/or boating education program in their school.
The Future Fisherman Foundation and The Recreational Boating and Fishing Foundation are partnering to sponsor the Physical Education Grants Initiative. The application deadline is January 19, 2009.
Programs must be cross-curricular to be considered. Grant recipients will attend a 5-day training workshop and travel to and from the training are a part of the grant funds. Information is available on the Future Fisherman Foundation's website at
