2022 Teacher Innovation Grant Applications Open

Our grant application period is now open! Public school TK-12 teachers in the Santa Clarita Valley can now apply for a $1,500 Teacher Innovation Grant (TIG).

Educators have great ideas to augment the core curriculum. They have the passion to embrace their vocation and are eager to take the extra steps to increase the value of education for their students.  Teacher Grants provide the means to bring these ideas to fruition. The Foundation looks for requests that are innovative, creative, and encourage collaboration. Grant requests should also provide long-lasting benefits so they can enrich the learning experience year after year. 

Because of the SCV Education Foundation grant program, schools are producing newspapers and literary magazines, science classes have hands-on equipment, computer programs are updated, music is part of the day, fine art is created, and gardens grow. The projects and programs for which these awards were given will reach over 6,000 students year-to-year across ALL five school districts: Castaic Union School District, Newhall School District, Saugus Union School District, Sulphur Springs Union School district, and William S. Hart Union High School District.

The SCV Education Foundation works closely with all five school districts within the Santa Clarita Valley — half of our board of directors are made up of assistant superintendents from these districts which means everything we do has the input and support of district representation. There are currently 55 public schools in Santa Clarita, 50,000+ students, and over 2,200 teachers. Our goal is to touch the lives of each and every teacher and student through one of our programs and events.

The deadline to apply is Monday, December 13 at 5 p.m. For more information, please visit our website or email info@scveducationfoundation.org.
