CLASS Grants: Community Learning Through America's Schools

CLASS Grants are the NEA Student Program's answer for two of today's most vital needs:

1. Building community support for public education, and
2. Addressing critical educational and social problems that face our communities.

Across the country, NEA student members just like you are making a difference in their own communities. To support our student members who are making this effort, NEA provides grants of up to $1,000 to support the efforts of our student chapters who want to launch CLASS projects.

CLASS Grants have funded local efforts to:

• Have a book drive
• Conduct a fund-raiser for school supplies and materials
• Offer after-school tutoring
• Work with a center for at-risk children
• Participate in adult-learning programs
• Support Big Brothers-Big Sisters of America Inc.
• …and more!

Tell us how your chapter would like to make a difference in the community, and you could be the recipient of our next CLASS grant!
