National Geographic Teacher Grants
The National Geographic Society is offering K-12 teachers an opportunity to partner with them in their efforts to increase and promote geographic literacy, both in and out of schools. |
Robert H. Michel Special Project Grants
The Center serves two primary audiences: scholars who conduct research about Congress and teachers who teach social studies, history, political science, and other subjects which relate to Congress. Accordingly, the Michel Special Projects grants are intended to support work that advances the public understanding of the federal legislature through research and teaching. |
Geographic Literacy
Purpose: To promote geography education in the schools; to enhance the geographic literacy of students at the classroom, district, or statewide level; and to encourage the integration of geography into the social studies curriculum/classroom. |
