The Lewisville ISD Education Foundation (LEF) is proud to announce the awarding of 45 teacher grants totaling $75,000. These grants will fund innovative projects that provide new educational opportunities for K-12 students across the Lewisville Independent School District (LISD).
The Teacher Grants, which are applied for in the spring and selected through a rigorous blind-review process by a dedicated volunteer committee over the summer, are an essential component of LEF’s commitment to supporting educators and fostering academic excellence within the district.
The projects funded by this year’s grants cover a wide range of subjects and grade levels, all aimed at enriching the educational experience for students and encouraging lifelong learning.
