VEA Wants to Fund Your Classroom Project!
Got an innovative idea you’ve been itching to try with your students but just don’t have the money to make happen? Your Union is ready to help you turn your creativity loose!
Plan out your idea and then apply for a VEA Mini-Grant in any amount up to $500. If you’re selected, you’ll be set to launch your idea to improve student learning.
