Local Area Teacher Gets Grant Award For Classroom!

While it is true that there are grant programs for school programs and projects, there are also grant programs for the individual teacher!

There is a grant program that is designed to encourage and support collaborative efforts among teachers, administrators, parents, and community organizations, based on merit and innovation.

One elementary school teacher recently received a grant to purchase a computer, video camera, digital camera and a projector that will be used to create educational movies in their classroom.

Another teacher who teaches science received a $10,000 grant to help fund a classroom science project.

The organization that funds these grants hold fundraisers throughout the year and also receive funding from individual sponsors.

The grants, awarded once a year in the spring, are designed to encourage and support collaborative efforts among teachers, administrators, parents, and community organizations, based on merit and innovation.

You can find out more about this grant program and whether or not you are eligible to apply for it by visiting the organization's website.



Please be advised that this is a local area grant program and only certain areas apply!
