LCCU knows that financial resources for education are at a historic low. LCCU-EDU Teacher Grant Program is our way of helping teachers in the communities we serve reach their greatest potential. The Grant Program is an effort to help teachers supplement instruction and facilitate student learning within a limited budget. The Grant Program aims to encourage professional innovation in teaching and greater student encouragement in learning.

Each semester (fall and spring) during the school year the LCCU Teacher Grant Program awards teachers in our community with grants to pay for programs, materials, and/or special projects for their classrooms. The Teacher Grant Program Committee will award grants to teachers based on funds available and in amounts as determined by the LCCU’s Board of Directors.

The application deadline for the fall semester is September 20 and for the spring semester is February 20.

Grant applications will be available on our website and in our LCCU Branch lobbies. For each school year, the Grant Program will award five grants each semester up to $500.00 each. All educators in grade pre-K-12 within our field of membership are eligible.
