Calling All Pasadena Teachers! California Credit Union Invites You to Apply to Teacher Grant Program

California Credit Union (CCU) is encouraging teachers in Pasadena to apply for credit union’s spring Teacher Grant program. The program, which has been running since 2012, provides ten grants of $500 each to teachers looking to fund special projects and activities for their students.

The projects should have clearly defined objectives that are related to academic needs and must benefit a significant number of students. They should also demonstrate creativity and be innovative. Last year’s grant program funded a range of projects, such as building solar powered ovens, creating a mariachi music program, and starting a school radio station.

“We’re excited to once again offer special grants to support our teachers as they work to create innovative programming for their students,” said CCU President/CEO Steve O’Connell.

 “We encourage any teacher who has a dream program to apply for a grant and look forward to funding these inspiring projects,” he added.

To apply for the program, teachers need to fill out the form on CCU’s website at ccu.com/teachergrant by February 28, 2023. Through the program, CCU has provided $165,000 worth of grants to benefit students in the Southern California area so far. For more information, visit CCU’s website or call (800) 500-6328.
