Deadline: 10 May 2024
Applications are now open for the LCF/Vista Microgrants Program for Language Educators that aims to support and empower those who are dedicated to promoting multilingualism and cultural diversity in the classroom.
This program provides small grants to K-12 educators who are passionate about teaching languages and incorporating cultural elements into their lessons.
This program is open to all K-12 language educators regardless of setting. Eligible individuals may apply for grants of $300 to fund a variety of projects, including:
- Organizing cultural events or activities for their learners, including those in collaboration with relevant community organizations; and
- Creating projects that support diverse perspectives and provide opportunities to develop cultural competence.
Eligibility Criteria
- Applicants must be K-12 language educators and provide a well-articulated need and purpose, including an itemized list of anticipated expenses.
- Applications will be accepted on a rolling basis, and applicants that don’t receive a grant in a given funding cycle (three per year) can reapply. Applicants are invited to submit one proposal per funding cycle.
- Awardees must agree to submit a short video (30-45 seconds maximum) within a week of grant notification to be used to promote the microgrants program.
- Recipients are limited to one award annually across the three funding cycles.
