Golden State Teacher Grant Program

The Golden State Teacher Grant will help prospective teachers fund their education and prepare them to make a difference in the schools that need them most. For many future teachers, it’s a calling to step into a classroom. The funding offered by this grant can be a tool in helping fulfill that calling. Visit the CSAC to learn more about the program and to apply for the grant.
