The mission of the Lewiston Independent Foundation for Education is to generate and distribute resources that enrich and enhance educational opportunities for all students; to encourage teachers to implement innovative educational programs; and to award scholarships to Lewiston School District students. LIFE’s Board recognizes this is best accomplished by combined commitment and collaboration with the school district, the school board, businesses, individuals, and organizations in our community.

LIFE Programs, Grants, and Scholarships
We are proud of the quality of education received by students in the Lewiston Public Schools, and recognize that this quality is the result of hard work by teachers and support personnel.
One concrete way to support classroom teachers is through Impact Grants. Grant requests are reviewed and selected through a competitive process. Top ranked applications are selected and recipients are announced in the spring for awards which may be spent in the following July-June fiscal year.
LIFE also administers several recognition programs for staff. Nominations for the Baskin Award are due in February and announced in March. Teacher of the Year nominations are due in June, and are announced in August; ESP of the Year nominations are due in March and are announced in May.
