Fund for Teachers

Purpose:  Fund for Teachers awards summer fellowship grants to pre-K-12 grade teachers to pursue self-designed professional learning. Teachers decide what they want to learn and where they want to learn it. Their odysseys take them all over the world—as scientists, researchers, artists and agents of change—and they return to their classrooms with new ideas that transform student learning and achievement.

The 2017 application cycle opens up on October 1, 2016!

Eligibility: Full-time preK-12th grade teachers:
• Spending at least 50% of their work week in direct classroom instruction
• Returning to the classroom in the consecutive school year
• With at least three years experience as a preK-12th grade teacher

Amount available per project:  Individuals may apply for up to $5,000 and teams may apply for up to $10,000

Deadline for Applications to Funding Agency: January 31, 2017

District Guidelines: An Intent to Submit form must be completed and sent to the Office of Community Development before applying for any grant for Humble ISD. Please contact Adrianne Holmes at the Office of Community Development at 281-641-8141 for more information.
