About Our Programs

FLITE funds programs for students in Tredyffrin/Easttown Schools at the preschool, elementary, middle, and high school levels. Programs funded by FLITE are age-appropriate, education-based, and developed with the students who may best benefit from these programs in mind. From after-school homework clubs to music, reading, summer academic programs to college readiness, we fund enriching programs that make a difference.

Evolving Programs

We evaluate funding of existing programs and review grants for new programs as needs arise. Current programs are evaluated each year for their attainment of project goals and cost effectiveness. New program grants are submitted by the school district staff or by community members and considered for approval. If you have a suggestion about a program that you think we should offer, we want to hear from you! Simply submit our Program Grant Application. Have feedback or suggestions about our existing programs? Please submit your comments via our contact us page. To read about programs that we have offered in the past, visit our Retired Programs page.
