The ACSF Teacher Grant program is made possible through the resources of the Athens City Schools Foundation, a non-profit corporation, with activities guided by the ACSF Board of Directors, comprised of members of the business community, educators, and other community leaders. The mission of the Athens City Schools Foundation is to serve as an advocate in mobilizing community support for resources to enhance learning opportunities for students in the Athens City School District and to support teachers with initiatives that supplement the basic revenues of the school system. ACSF Teacher grants are designed to reward the creative initiative of teachers and to invest private-sector monies in classroom projects that increase opportunities. 

ACSF TEACHER GRANT APPLICATION

Consider something unique and exciting that you could do with your students with the help of an Athens City Schools Foundation teacher grant! The Athens City Schools Foundation supports the school system’s instructional program by awarding teacher classroom grants each year.  These grants provide teachers with financial resources to purchase instructional items such as calculators, technology equipment, digital scales, library books, frogs for science dissections, computer software and apps, science and engineering lab supplies. A limited number of $500 individual teacher grants and $1,000 teacher team grants will be awarded. Applications will be reviewed on a competitive basis. The information included in the application will provide the ACSF Grant Review Panel with the data needed to make a judgment regarding the project funding. Each project selected will be for implementation and completion during the 2025-2026 school year. Submit by June 6, 2025.
