Florida Association for Water Quality Control (FAWQC) Environmental Education (E2) Fund (FL) Grant

The Florida Association for Water Quality Control (FAWQC) Environmental Education (E2) Fund supports environmental education projects in Florida. Grants, up to $1,000, are awarded to schools and community organizations for initiatives that enhance awareness of water issues, promote student involvement, and apply sound scientific principles.

• Being cost effective;
• Basing the project on sound science principles;
• Promoting involvement of students or citizens; and,
• Promoting enhancement of a water resource or associated habitat.
