NEA Grants for innovative teaching: Apply Now!

February 1, 2006 is the deadline for various grants offered by The NEA. In addition to offering Innovation Grants and Learning & Leadership Grants, NEA is accepting applications for Fine Arts Grants that are specifically for art specialists.

Applications are due by February 1, 2006 for NEA Fine Arts Grants. On behalf of the National Education Association (NEA), The NEA Foundation offers, for the third time, NEA Fine Arts grants to NEA members. Available to elementary (grades K-6) school art specialists through local NEA affiliates, the grants allow fine arts educators to create and implement programs that promote learning among students at risk of school failure. For more information on eligibility and grant guidelines, visit www.neafoundation.org/programs/finearts.htm.

Applications are due by February 1, 2006 for both Innovation Grants and Learning & Leadership Grants. Recipients will be notified by June 15, 2006. Applications for these grants are accepted on an ongoing, year-round basis, so it's never too late to apply. Proposals received after February 1 will be considered in the next grant review. Grants fund activities for 12 months from the award date.

Innovation Grants and Learning & Leadership Grants are available for all subjects, including the arts, literacy, science, and technology. Grant amounts are either $2,000 or $5,000. The NEA Foundation has funded over 1,500 grants nationwide to NEA members over the years. Read about recent projects on the foundation's website, and then submit your own idea.

All practicing K-12 public school teachers, education support professionals, and higher education faculty and staff at public colleges and universities are encouraged to apply.

Applying for a grant is easy, so why wait? Visit www.neafoundation.org today for more information, including guidelines and a downloadable application. Or call 202.822.7840.
