Educator Grants
Grants
Klein ISD Education Foundation grants are designed to encourage, facilitate, and recognize creative projects that lead to academic achievement for students of the Klein ISD.
Educator Grant
Individual teachers can be awarded grants up to $5,000 and groups of teachers on the same campus can be awarded grants up to $7,500 for innovative classroom initiatives that support the mission of the school district. Multiple campuses may submit a grant for up to $15,000. The grants will be evaluated by a committee of district representatives and foundation directors and will be awarded based on merit.
Lead the Spark Grant
The Lead the Spark grant is open to campus principals within Klein ISD to help support existing or new student programs. They are awarded twice a year and applications are due by November 1st (Fall) and April 1st (Spring). If either of those dates fall on a weekend, grant applications will be due the following Monday. Grant amounts are awarded between $5,000 and $25,000.
