Classroom Innovation Grants

About the Program

Providing our teachers with the resources they need to deliver a 21st Century education is our primary mission. We do this by awarding Classroom Innovation Grants each year in a competitive application process. Teachers must explain how they will use their grants funds to enhance educational opportunities for their students.
