STAR Grants
Student Teacher Achievement Recognition
Fund Programs That Students Need
STAR (Student and Teacher Achievement and Recognition) grants pay for important teacher-directed, student-centered programs not funded by the school district. When it comes to knowing what is needed to motivate, educate, and reward our children, teachers know best. Each school, each class, and each student is unique. Donating to STAR supports classroom academics and special projects for Kindergarten through 8th-grade children that would not happen without your support.
UTBEF’s STAR Grants serve the following elementary and middle schools in Upper Pinellas and Hillsborough counties:
