Mission Statement
Fund for Teachers enriches the personal and professional growth of teachers by recognizing and supporting them as they identify and pursue opportunities around the globe that will have the greatest impact on their practice, the academic lives of their students and on their school communities.

Applicants may submit one (1) application per grant year. Identical applications will not be considered. Multiple entries will be eliminated. Two teams or a set of individuals cannot submit identical applications to increase their spending limit. Proposals must be written by the person(s) participating in the fellowship. Proposals written by other parties, including principals or school administrators, will not be considered.

The Fund awards almost every type of professional development imaginable. However, there are a few exceptions. The Fund will not provide monies for student travel, the completion of post bacculaureate degrees, onsite (or campus) professional development, compensation for substitutes or stipends.
