Fund for Teachers

Apply to be a 2023 Fund For Teachers Fellow

Our friends at Fund for Teachers are now accepting applications from teachers for grants up to $5,000 for individuals and up to $10,000 for a team to explore their own self determined professional development this summer.

You’ll decide what you want to learn and where you want to learn it—either from the comfort of your own home or anywhere in the world. Applications are open now through January 19th, 2023.

Apply

Since 2001, Fund for Teachers has invested $35 million in nearly 9,200 teachers, transforming grants into growth for teachers and their students. We’ve seen past awardees travel thousands of miles to investigate building design, while others have stayed local to study climate change in order to support their students’ practices in learning about climate science data. No matter the topic you choose, the Fund for Teachers fellowship will allow you to support student success, enrich your own practice, and strengthen your schools and communities.
