DSEF INNOVATIVE TEACHER GRANTS OPEN AUGUST 1ST


Congratulations on considering applying for an Innovative Teacher Grant (ITG)!

If you are interested in submitting an ITG, you've taken the first step!

Make your innovative teaching idea a reality with an ITG grant from the Dripping Springs Education Foundation! Funded by the community's generous donations, the ITG Program provides DSISD Teachers and Staff the opportunity to submit a grant request to fulfill an innovative teaching idea, need, or learning experience that provides better opportunities for more students and staff.

In 2022-2023, DSEF awarded over $70,000 in grant money to campuses across the district!

Have an idea but need help formulating a plan? Reach out, we'd love to help.
