The U.S. Department of Education has released the 2008 Physical Education for Progress (PEP) Grant application. This program provides grants to initiate, expand, and improve physical education programs for K-12 students in order to help them make progress toward meeting state standards for physical education.

Funds may be used to provide equipment and support to enable students to participate actively in physical education activities. Funds also may support staff and teacher training and education.

Peaceful Playgrounds provides grant writing assistance for PEP Grants. They have supported numerous districts in the writing of successful PEP Grants over the past eight years.
