Faribault Area Public Schools Educational Trust Association

Supporting our Students and Teachers in the
Faribault Public Schools

It is with great pride and pleasure FAPSETA can serve the community and assist in the longevity of educational enrichment.

Our History

Established in 1986, the Faribault Area Public Schools Educational Trust Association functions as a separate, tax-exempt 501(c)(3) entity that works closely with Independent School District 656 and the administration of the Trust‘s activities. The board of directors is made up of business, education, and community members who have a vested interest in the youth of this community.

Our Mission

The mission of the Faribault Area Public Schools Educational Trust Association (FAPSETA), the Falcon Scholarship Fund, and the Falcon Educational Enrichment Program (FEEP) is to provide a source of funds to assist in meeting the ongoing educational goals of Faribault Public Schools students.

The Cost of Education Continues to Escalate

The cost of higher education continues to increase, and financial support for K-12 programs lags behind growing needs. FAPSETA seeks to secure funds to help meet these needs. The community unites to help its own and rallies around those seeking higher education or to enrich the education of our current students. The Falcon Scholarship Funds focuses its activity on granting scholarships for graduating students.

The Falcon Educational Enrichment Program (FEEP) secures support for specific classroom and learning opportunities that are beyond regular classroom financial support. Teachers may apply for these funds, and a screening committee determines the amount and the programs that will be funded.
