WHAT:
Submissions are now open to nominate a teacher as Teachers Federal Credit Union looks to recognize educators who are making an outstanding contribution in their community. In a year unlike any other, where teachers were asked to support students like never before, Teachers FCU will award three $1,500 classroom grants during Teacher Appreciation Week in May 2021.
Those who are age 18 and older can nominate a K-12 teacher who works in a public or private school district in the United States. There is no limit to the amount of times a teacher can be entered, and multiple nominations are encouraged!
Once nominations are in, Teachers FCU will evaluate the nominees and select three finalists for each of the three categories. Open public voting for the nine finalists will then take place on Teachers’ website and social media platforms. The teacher with the most amount of votes in each of the three categories will be awarded a $1,500 grant for their classroom, as well as Teachers FCU swag for their students!
WHO:
- The awards will honor three educators, making an impact on the lives of their students in grades K-12 in any public or private school district across the United States.
