ASCD Teacher Impact Grants (TIGs)

TIGs provide funding and support directly to teachers for promising teacher-led, administrator-supported ideas, programs, or initiatives to improve education. These grants allow teachers to develop and execute projects that can serve as models to be replicated and scaled.

The program provides the flexibility, funding, and evaluation support necessary to meet the unique needs of promising teacher-led projects. The grants cultivate the expertise of teachers and help to position them as leaders driving transformation in schools, districts, and states.

How Do I Apply?

Proposed projects should be for the 2016–17 school year, with funding available starting August 31, 2016. The estimated average size of a single award is $10,000.

Application Period
The application period will be open from May 16 to June 16, 2016. The application deadline is June 16, 2016 at 11:59 p.m. eastern time.
