AAHPERD JRFH/HFH Grant Program

The Program:
Grant recipients will receive a maximum of $2500. Up to $1300 of these funds will pay for the recipient’s AAHPERD membership dues for one year (if the member is not a current AAHPERD member) and will assist the recipient with travel to the AAHPERD National Convention and Exposition. The remaining $1200 will be given to the recipients in the form of a US Games certificate, redeemable for equipment to enhance physical education programs. Recipients will also receive the NASPE Quality PE package (which includes NAPSE standards, Opportunity to Learn Standards, Appropriate Practice, and Standards-based Assessment of Student Learning) for their appropriate grade levels.
