LOVEDAY SUMMER STUDY GRANTS FOR GISA TEACHERS

The Georgia Independent School Association in cooperation with the Fred H. Loveday Endowment Foundation announces the 2025 Loveday Summer Study Grants for Teachers.


The Loveday Summer Study Grants for Teachers provide financial support for K-12 educators seeking professional learning opportunities that enhance their teaching skills and subject-area expertise. These grants enable teachers to attend workshops, conferences, or specialized courses directly related to their classroom instruction. The grant is not intended for degree programs (e.g., master’s or doctoral studies) but rather for targeted professional development that enriches teaching practices and benefits students.

Teachers are to complete an Online Application Form ON OR BEFORE THURSDAY, MARCH 31, 2025 (no exceptions).

Requests for 2025 may not exceed $1000. 

The following stipulations should be followed:

  1. The teacher must be returning to the school for the 2025-2026 school year. 
  2. Information about the Loveday Grants should be made available to ALL faculty.
  3. The number of applications from a GISA member school is based on enrollment:

     

    0 – 400 1 application
    401 – 800 2 applications
    801 – 1200 3 applications
    1201 – 1600 4 applications
    1600 & above 5 applications

Following receipt of online applications, members of the GISA Teacher Services Committee will review all requests. Based on the approved criteria, the value of the study, financial need, and following instructions correctly, the Committee will select the recipients of the grants. Recipients and school heads will be notified soon thereafter, and checks will be issued.

We extended our sincere thanks and appreciation to the Loveday Foundation Board for their generous contribution to this Fund, to the GISA Member Schools that contribute, and to the GISA Teacher Services Committee members for their time and expertise in the selection process.
