Fund for Teachers annually invites teachers to propose solutions that address learning gaps for themselves and their students. Teachers are trusted with the freedom to determine what and where they want to learn and, after a thorough review process, individual teachers are awarded up to $5,000 and teams of two or more up to $10,000 to pursue customized professional development during the summer.

"Teachers are at the heart of shaping not only students' academic trajectories, but often their social and emotional well-being, as well," said Karen Eckhoff, Executive Director. "Fund for Teachers believes this high calling merits validation and support, which we provide by funding fellowships that ultimately inspire teachers' enthusiasm for student engagement and extend their longevity in the profession."
