To all the teachers who managed to submit their 2024-2025 grant applications by the May 31st deadline! Your dedication, determination, and effort is commendable. Applications are still under review. Our list of grantees will be announced soon, so stay tuned to find out what exciting teacher initiatives will be implemented next year!
TEACHER GRANTS
TEACHER INNOVATION GRANT
BRAVO Teacher Innovation Grants are available to Clarendon County schools who plan to implement an innovative project, initiative, teaching strategy, technology application or other effort providing measurable educational outcomes for students. The purpose of this grant program is to enhance student learning and student interest in learning by providing teachers with an opportunity to exercise their passion for teaching, develop their ideas, partner with colleagues and connect with the wealth of knowledge, expertise and talent within your school, district, and the community.
SERVICE-LEARNING GRANT
BRAVO Service-learning Grants are available to Clarendon County teachers to implement high-quality service-learning projects. Service-learning is a teaching strategy that connects classroom curriculum with service projects that engage students socially, civically and academically. A high-quality service-learning experience combines meaningful service with in-depth learning. Service-learning begins with classroom content and moves into the community through the planning and implementation of a service-project.
NOTE: These teacher grants are to be used as a supplement to – not a replacement of - standard budgetary allowances provided to teachers for everyday supplies and materials. If there is something you need for your classroom that you believe will enhance your ability to meet students’ educational needs, but the school budget will not cover it, grant monies may be used to alleviate the need to pay out-of-pocket for expenses related to implementation of instructional initiatives as described in your grant applications.
Until further notice, we will be accepting and reviewing teacher grant applications for the 2024-2025 school year on a case-by-case process based on urgency of need and availability of funds. The window for submission of applictions for the 2025-2026 school year will open for all teachers on March 15, 2025 and close on May 31st. Once all applications are received and reviewed by our Board of Directors, you will be notified via email no later than July 15th if your application has been approved. The number of applications approved will be based upon monies available at that particular time, the order by which applications were received, and the quality of each submission.
