SAN DIEGO, Feb. 25, 2025 ~ As the spring season approaches, the North Island Credit Union Foundation is once again encouraging teachers in San Diego and Riverside County to apply for its Teacher Grant program. The foundation will be awarding ten grants of $500 each to innovative class projects in April.

The grant program is open to full-time teachers in San Diego and Riverside County, as well as credit union members teaching in California. The aim of the program is to provide funding for special learning opportunities that have clearly defined objectives tied to students' academic needs, display creativity, and benefit a significant number of students.

According to Marvel Ford, President of the North Island Credit Union Foundation, supporting teachers and schools is a crucial aspect of the foundation's work. "Our long-standing teacher grant program provides extra funds that enable our dedicated educators to bring creative new projects to their students," said Ford. "We encourage all our teachers to submit their ideas so we can support their great work."
