NEA Learning & Leadership Grants and Student Achievement Grants

Deadlines: June 1, October 15, and February 1

The National Endowment for the Arts Foundation has introduced a new online grant application system for their $2,000 and $5,000 Learning & Leadership Grants and Student Achievement Grants that makes the grant application process easier. For a guided tour and detailed instruction of the new system, the Foundation has posted a video featuring grants manager Jesse Graytock. Applicants can view the video or link directly to the applications from the NEA Foundation’s web site at www.neafoundation.org/grants.

The Learning & Leadership Grants support public school teachers, public education support professionals, and/or faculty and staff in public institutions of higher education for one of the following two purposes: 1) Grants to individuals fund participation in high-quality professional development experiences, such as summer institutes or action research; 2) Grants to groups fund collegial study, including study groups, action research, lesson study, or mentoring experiences for faculty or staff new to an assignment.

The Student Achievement Grants aim to improve the academic achievement of students in U.S. public schools and public higher education institutions in any subject area(s). The proposed work should engage students in critical thinking and problem solving that deepen their knowledge of standards-based subject matter. The work should also improve students’ habits of inquiry, self-directed learning, and critical reflection.
