The Pennsbury Partners Advisory Board Mini-Grant Committee recently awarded eleven schools with special corporate-sponsored grants totaling just over $6,400.

These grants were made possible with funds donated last year by area businesses in support of the Pennsbury Partners Program. The purpose of these mini-grants is to foster partnership development in each school that would:
- Make a positive impact on student academic achievement by linking with curriculum;
- Combine real-life work experiences to prepare students for satisfying careers; or
- Provide students with opportunities for community service activities.
