## About this scholarship

The Gunnison Valley Education Foundation manages the GVEF Teacher Innovation Grant Program to support creative educational initiatives. This funding opportunity is designed for certified classroom teachers, as well as collaborating groups of teachers, who are employed within the Gunnison Watershed School District. The program provides monetary resources to help educators implement original ideas, methods, or approaches that enrich student learning beyond the standard curriculum. 

Eligible applicants can request up to $1,000 to cover the costs of their classroom projects. Because this program is funded directly by the foundation to support local public school teachers, it does not require the completion of the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) or any state-based financial aid applications. Instead, teachers apply by submitting an online request form detailing their project goals and budget. Applications must be submitted by December 31 of the current school year to receive funding for that same academic year.

## Who can apply

- Residents of: CO
- Available to certified classroom teachers or collaborating groups of teachers in the Gunnison Watershed School District.
