Please note – STPDL is now available for AQs and ABQs. Members should apply for STPDL when the timelines in the Guideline can be met. (i.e., STPDL Chairs can process Fall AQ/ABQ requests at their October, November or December meetings as long as the course end date is after 4 PM the day before their meeting). The process for STPDL funding of an AQ or an ABQ is outlined on the STPDL Funding website here: https://etfopeel.com/pl-funding/stpdl-funding/
PETL Course/Conference & Status Funding is only available for opportunities within a single school year (i.e., July 1, 2025 – June 30, 2026).
Members are not to apply for funding if the PL opportunity starts or ends on or after July 1, 2026 as these would be funded from next year’s budget. Applications for PETL Course/Conference and/or Status funding received on forms dated 2025-2026 for opportunities that begin on or after July 1, 2026 will NOT be processed. Members must wait until applications are updated to apply on the correct form for the funding which will fall in the correct budget year.
Applications for Summer 2025 AQs should be sent over the summer (by the course end date), but it will not be processed until September when the PETL Office reopens. Your application for PETL Course Funding must be received in email by the course end date. There will be an auto-reply on the treasurer@etfopeel.com email starting June 26th. If you do not receive the auto-reply, it is likely you have not correctly entered the email and should try again. You will not receive a personal response to any emails until September.
All applications received after the course end date will be denied. If your course has ended it is too late to apply for funding and without an approved application, you will not be reimbursed.
PETL Course Funding is available for members of PETL who have not already accessed PETL Conference Funding, and will fund up to $600 toward course tuition fees (as outlined in the full guidelines) per school year (i.e., July 1-June 30).
