action awards

For the 2022–23 school year, we invited applications for the SEL in Action Awards from two applicant pools:

  1. School-based educators (including teachers, counselors, administrators and other school staff) seeking to implement SEL initiatives in classrooms or schools in the 2022–2023 school year, and
  2. District-level applicants seeking to implement SEL initiatives district-wide and/or across multiple schools within one district (including a charter network).

Grant awards for educator-led projects are a maximum of $8,000 each. District-level grant awards are a maximum of $30,000 each.

The application window was open from January 10 through March 14.  You can see the full list below and view a map of awardees by school and district. Project details will be available soon at SELforteachers.org.
