| Description: | The NEA Foundation provides grants to stimulate students’ curiosity and excitement about learning, and help them become successful 21st century global citizens. Through the Student Success grants, the foundation helps students learn how to think critically and solve problems. The foundation has successfully provided funding to thousands of educators to enable them to take the lead on a wide range of projects to improve student learning. Grant funds may be used for resource materials, supplies, equipment, transportation, technology, or scholars-in-residence. Although some funds may be used to support the professional development necessary to implement the project, the majority of grant funds must be spent on materials or educational experiences for students. Eligible applicants are public school educators in prekindergarten through grade 12, public school education support professionals, or faculty and staff at public higher education institutions. Education support professionals include paraeducators, school bus drivers, maintenance and custodial staff, food services staff, school nurses, student services workers, clerical and office assistants, school security officers, and technicians.
