Educators Invited to Apply for ING Unsung Heroes Program

The ING Unsung Heroes program helps K-12 educators and their schools fund innovative classroom projects.

Each year, the program selects 100 educators to receive grants of $2,000 each to help fund their innovative class projects. At least one award will be granted in each of the 50 United States, provided one or more qualified applications are received from each state. Three of these educators are chosen to receive the top awards of an additional $5,000, $10,000, and $25,000.

All K-12 education professionals are eligible. Specifically, these individuals must be employed by an accredited K-12 public or private school located in the United States, and be full-time educators, teachers, principals, paraprofessionals, or classified staff with effective projects that improve student learning.
