(NOTE: If your project is approved and funded, PPIE will write a check to your school that will go into your teacher’s or club’s account. Purchases will be made through this account. Please make sure you discuss this process with the sponsoring teacher in advance. You can contact PPIE at mail@ppie.org with funding questions.)
