Who is eligible

“Applicants must be k-12 public and private school teachers in marion and polk counties.”

Restrictions are quoted from the filing’s own words. A foundation’s mailing address doesn’t always decide who’s eligible — the restriction text above does.

How to apply

“Applicants may submit a written application and photo on the foundation's website (mapscu.com/community-involvement/teacher-grants). Describe how the award will be used, the number of students impacted, the total cost of the project, and most importantly, how will this grant make a difference to the applicant's students.”

Application coaching · $199

We coach, you write — every word you submit is your own

  1. Your application blueprint — what scholarship committees review, section by section, built around this award’s stated requirements and restrictions.
  2. Targeted prompts that pull your strongest, most specific material out of you — no staring at a blank page.
  3. A real review of your finished draft before you submit — margin notes, not rewrites.

We never write your application for you. That matters: committees increasingly screen for AI-written applications, and coached-and-yours holds up because it is yours. Flat $199 — finding and reading everything on this page stays free.

Where this information comes from

Every fact on this page is published from the foundation’s own IRS Form 990-PF for the tax period ending 2024-12-31 (EIN 450705509). Part XV of that form is where a private foundation that accepts unsolicited applications must tell the IRS — and the public — who to send applications to, what to include, any deadlines, and any restrictions on awards. Most of these programs are never listed on scholarship search sites; the filing is often the only public record they exist.

Every listing on this site is compiled from the foundation’s own IRS Form 990-PF filing — the public record where foundations that accept applications must state who to contact, how to apply, any deadlines, and any restrictions. Filings are annual, so details can change between filings: always confirm the current deadline and requirements with the foundation before applying. This site is not affiliated with, authorized by, or endorsed by any foundation listed. Scholarship information here is free; we charge only for optional application coaching, and we never write your application for you.
