The National Education Association offers grants to K–12 public education teachers and support staff to participate in high-quality professional-development experiences. All professional development must improve practice, curriculum, and student achievement. Grant funds may be used for fees, travel expenses, books, or other materials that enable applicants to learn subject matter, instructional approaches, and skills. Recipients are expected to exercise professional leadership by sharing their new learning with their colleagues. The grant amount is $2,000 for individuals and $5,000 for groups engaged in collegial study. Preference will be given to members of the National Education Association (NEA). The NEA Foundation encourages grant applications from teachers with less than seven years of experience in the profession and education support professionals.
Applications are reviewed three times per year, every year (June 6, October 15, and February 1).
