For over 20 years, Assistance League has provided thousands of dollars in $400 awards to teachers for field trips, educational material, and other projects. This year, for the first time, this program has been expanded to also provide six much higher value $10,000 awards.

“We really want to make a difference for students in our community,” said Assistance League President Paula E. Jones. “We are testing out these $10,000 grants to see how these can really help students. In the future, if this is well received, we plan to expand this program.”

In the fall of 2023, Assistance League awarded $60,000 in big awards and $70,000 in $400 teacher awards, for a total of $130,000. It’s so important that our students get the best possible education.
