Are you an educator with a class project that is short on funding but long on potential? Do you know a teacher looking for grant dollars? ING Unsung Heroesฎ could help you turn great ideas into reality for students.
For more than 10 years, and with $3.0 million in awarded grants, ING Unsung Heroes has proven to be an A+ program with educators. The program's "alumni" have inspired success in the classroom and impacted countless numbers of students. Each year, 100 educators are selected to receive $2,000 to help fund their innovative class projects. Three of those are chosen to receive the top awards of an additional $5,000, $10,000 and $25,000
Applications for the 2010 awards are now available. The application deadline is April 30, 2010. To make it easier for applicants to fill in the required information, the non-essay portion of the application is now a fillable PDF. All that an applicant needs to do is download the PDF and type in that information directly. Applicants still need to complete the essay and budget sections in a separate Word document or other word processing program, and submit all application materials following the process outlined in the application. To ensure impartiality, the 2010 program will again be managed by Scholarship America. Applications must be postmarked by April 30, 2010. To apply, complete the attached application. Additional application forms may be obtained by contacting Scholarship America or your local ING representative. The attached application may also be photocopied.
