The 2011 Teachers' Grants cycle will open in August of 2011. Applications will be available through Franklin County Schools administration, via Central Office (Public Information Office) or through school principals. Applications will be posted on this website.
If a teacher was awarded a grant in 2010, he or she must file a final report, also available through the Central Office and principals.
Wake Electric will judge the grants again this year.
