The NEA Foundation supports a variety of efforts by teachers, education support professionals, and higher education faculty and staff to improve student learning in the nation's public schools, colleges, and universities. - Online grant applications: In order to make applying for grants easier, more convenient, the NEA Foundation has launched a Web-based application process for its popular $2,000 and $5,000 grants to support public school educators’ ideas to improve teaching and learning. Applicants can link directly to the application from the NEA Foundation’s Web site at www.neafoundation.org. The Foundation will accept both paper and online applications for its Student Achievement Grants and its Learning and Leadership Grants through June 1, 2009
- Closing the Achievement Gaps: Many economically disadvantaged and minority students do not have the same opportunities for academic success as their more affluent peers. With support from the NEA Foundation, partnerships led by NEA affiliates, school districts, and community organizations will take action to accelerate the achievement rate for disadvantaged and minority students, while raising achievement for all groups of students. Application is by invitation only. Additional resources.
