Teacher Grants

Introduction

Since 1996, Antioch Schools Education Foundation (ASEF) funds have been provided to Antioch Unified School District (AUSD) sites for many educational projects. The ASEF‘s goal is to enhance the educational programs within the school district by awarding grants to educators, such as teachers and librarians, encouraging innovation in teaching.

As part of our commitment to the local community, The Antioch Schools Education Foundation will be providing funding to bring $20,000.00 into the Antioch Schools. Stay tuned to hear about more exciting news, as we continue to work with local companies and expect to be offering even more funding opportunities very soon! In the meantime, teachers are invited to post their requests for resources and materials on the DonorsChoose.org website, where individuals around the country will help to fund them.

Eligibility

Antioch Unified School District teachers, district personnel and student groups (under direct teacher supervision and/or AUSD jurisdiction) are all eligible to apply.

The Consideration Process

• The Grant Committee and members of the ASEF Board of Directors will evaluateeach timely application according to the following criteria:
  1. Does the proposal address an unmet need?
  2. Is the proposal consistent with projects that benefit student education?
  3. Is there a commitment of partial funding from another source (e.g. PTA or corporate) enhancing the value of your proposal?
• The ASEF may consider other relevant information to help balance approval of applications at different schools and grade levels, seeking to reach as many students as possible through the Grant Program.
