Frankenmuth Credit Union Awards $20K to Local Educators
On March 18, Frankenmuth Credit Union held its annual Mini Educator Grant Reception. The Mini Educator Grant program provides funding to local educators to alleviate some of the out-of-pocket costs associated with purchasing much needed classroom items. Educators can apply for up to $500 each year through the program.
This year, Frankenmuth Credit Union received 96 applications and awarded $20,489 in grants to 50 educators from 33 local schools. Funding was provided for a wide range of items such as books, a 3D printer, science kits, therapy dog training, art library, egg incubator and a class trip to the Underground Railroad Living Museum.
“It is a true joy to offer this program each year," said CEO Vickie Schmitzer. "I am continually blown away by the incredible educators who take the initiative to seek funding for items to enhance their classrooms for the benefit of their students. These grants are a wonderful opportunity for us to support our local schools and their wonderful staff.”
