Grants and Awards for Teachers
Bexley Education Foundation grants are available to any faculty or staff member in the Bexley City School District.
District-Wide Impact Grants
Impact Grants are initiated by School District leadership to support or address a strategic priority, initiative or imperative of the School District and are usually $100,000 or more.
Idea grants are awarded twice a year (fall and spring) usually for collaborative programs and projects between teachers, grade levels, schools, etc. Projects and programs should show creativity and innovation and impact a significant number of students.
Idea Grants
Funding (currently) can be up to $1,000 – for special experiences, supplies, additional classroom resources, teaching tools, etc. Teacher grants are generally for an individual classroom or activity, not an all-grade or all-school activity.
