Teacher Grants

Florida Agriculture in the Classroom is now accepting Teacher Grant applications! FAITC created an instructional PowerPoint with helpful hints on how to write our grant application.

The grant is open to general education and agriculture teachers in pre-kindergarten through 12th grade who want to use agricultural concepts to teach core subject areas. Florida Agriculture in the Classroom’s Teacher Grant program strives to fund classroom projects that teach Florida school children about the importance of agriculture and introduce them to agricultural producers and representatives in their areas.

The application window has now closed for the 2023-2024 school year.
