The Leaders Education Foundation recognizes an opportunity for students to learn and interact in new ways and for new dreams and ideas to emerge. Leaders Education Foundation champions these ideas and dreams through our L.E.A.D.S. Educator Grants.
Educators throughout West Tennessee have the opportunity to win grant funding for their classroom or school-wide project or initiative. Leaders Education Foundation Board of Directors has set aside $20,000 in grant funding to be distributed in 2022.
