AAPS Education Foundation
The Education Foundation is a non-profit committed to supporting the quality of education in the Ann Arbor Public Schools. Starting in the mid-1990s, the Foundation has given grants to individual teachers for classroom projects. With the current funding restrictions that our schools work under, the AAPSEF is aiming to expand its mandate to help preserve key programs that might otherwise suffer for lack of funding.
