The Scholar Grants program, offered by the Alabama Power Foundation, provides funding to public school teachers in grades two to eight. The grants aim to support professional development and instructional tools that will help raise student achievement in math and/or English language arts (ELA) to grade level proficiency and beyond. Each grade level team can receive up to $7,500 in funding. The grants can be used for professional development, instructional resources, and classroom technology. There are two application cycles: Cycle 1 opens on March 25, 2024, and closes on April 26, 2024; Cycle 2 opens on August 5, 2024, and closes on September 6, 2024. Priority will be given to public schools with a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced lunches or schools that are Title I schools. Collaboration among grade level teams is encouraged, and middle school teacher teams may include multiple grade levels if necessary. Teachers must select professional development focused on math and/or ELA concepts as part of their grant proposal. The grants should aim to improve student achievement, and the impact will be measured accordingly. The funds should be used for effective professional development that focuses on content and pedagogy and facilitates ongoing learning. Instructional resources and classroom technology should be selected to increase engagement, scaffold instruction, and improve learning outcomes. Scholar Grants cannot be used for primary or secondary private schools or non-school organizations. Grant proposals must support raising student achievement in math or ELA. Required information for the grant application includes general school information (address, tax ID, enrollment), school principal background (years at the school, highest educational attainment), teacher team background (contact information, teaching experience), grant proposal details (number of students impacted, description of use of funds), and measurement of impact on student achievement by the teacher team.
