Grant/Funding Advice

GEEO is trying to make travel as affordable as possible for educators, but understand that not every teacher will be able to afford our programs.

The first thing we recommend you do is speak to your school's principal and/or professional development coordinator. They may know of grants that your school district or state offers. For example if you are teacher in Minnesota you may be eligible for a $1000 grant towards your GEEO trip. Often schools reimburse teachers for professional development expenses. You can also try contacting your school's PTA or professional organizations that you belong to.

We also recommend applying for a Fund for Teachers grant, www.fundforteachers.org. These grants can be used on GEEO trips. Please note that they are only offered to teachers in a limited number of pre-selected school districts around the country.

Good luck and let GEEO know if you have applied for a grant that you plan on using on one of our trips!
