California Credit Union encourages Los Angeles County teachers who have an innovative class project idea to apply for a credit union grant through its biannual teacher grant program.

The California Credit Union grant program is available to full-time teachers in Los Angeles and Orange county, or credit union members teaching in California, looking to fund special learning opportunities for their students. The project should have clearly defined learning objectives tied to students’ academic needs, display creativity, and benefit a significant number of students. Ten California Credit Union grants of $500 each will be awarded to area teachers in late October in the fall program.

Interested teachers can find more information and apply online at ccu.com/teachergrant. The application deadline is Sept. 30.
