Excellence in Education Grants available for teachers

The Illinois Retired Teachers Association Foundation is offering $42,000 in grant money to educators.

This special grant will provide additional funds to public school educators (pre-kindergarten through 12th grade) so that their students will have the means to participate in special projects.
