Part One: Application
The entire application is completed online and will require digital signatures. As part of the application process an email will be sent from info@fundforteachers.org to your principal to verify your eligibility.
Part One: Coversheet
All applicants must apply online.
Before you begin, determine if you are applying as an individual or as a team.
- Create your online account, or login with existing credentials.
- Create a 1-2 sentence project description (350-character limit), detailing What you are doing + Where you are going + Why. Please avoid personal pronouns. (Sample project descriptions can be found here.)
- Sign your coversheet. Once signed, an email will be sent to your principal asking for a digital signature to verify your eligibility. Edits to signed coversheets are not permitted, except for revisions to the project description.
- Use the formal name of your district and school. Ex: Houston Independent School District instead of HISD and John F. Kennedy Elementary School instead of JFK Elem. School.
- Teams:
- Elect a team lead and create a team name.
- The team lead initiates the online process and is the first to input the team’s name.
- Each team member registers, creating an individual account and submits a coversheet.
- The team lead cannot advance past the coversheet until all other members have completed and signed his/her coversheet.
