OUR COMMITMENT TO
SUPPORT EDUCATORS

"I am grateful to NSHSS for awarding me this grant, which will play a vital role in helping me continue to enhance my work with students. This opportunity allows me to further develop the skills necessary to create a more supportive and inclusive learning environment. Being part of this community has shown me the power of encouragement, support, and resources in breaking down barriers and achieving academic success. I hope my journey inspires others—whether students or fellow educators—to pursue their goals with determination and to believe in their potential to make a meaningful impact."

"I would like to thank NSHSS for the generous grant that will enable me to purchase lab materials for my students. This support is invaluable, as it allows me to transform theoretical concepts into hands-on, inquiry investigations. With these new resources, my students will have the opportunity to explore, experiment and engage with STEM in a way that makes learning both dynamic and meaningful. Your contribution will not only enhances their classroom experiences but also empower them to develop essential skills, where they think and act like true scientists. Thank you for investing in their future and for helping me create an environment where curiosity and discovery thrive. I am excited about the significant impact this will have on their educational journey and future endeavors."

"After teaching for as long as I have, I never thought about applying for grants. I thought the process was way too time consuming and didn't think it would be worth the time. I was VERY wrong. The process was very easy as they explicitly tell you what they were looking for in the application and was worth the time. This was the first time I actually applied for a grant and was very fortunate to be awarded one!!! This could be you!"

"Thank you so much for this generous grant, which affirms the time and heart I invest in striving to make my classes meaningful."

"I am so thankful to have been awarded the NSHSS Dual Enrollment Educator Grant. This grant will help pay for my teacher licensing program so that I can continue doing the work that I love."

"There will always be a new idea that teachers have that can make the classroom a more meaningful and exciting place for students. There is not always district funding. NSHSS has provided my classroom with funds more than once over the course of my entire teaching career. Whether it's an expanded film library or more production equipment, my students have had more opportunities to do college level work and feel like professionals because of NSHSS grants. Thank you, NSHSS! Please keep supporting teachers! Teachers, if you have an exciting idea and need support—apply!"

"I would like to express my gratitude for being selected as a recipient of the Schools Supplies Grant 2026. This grant will help fund my students' exploration into inquiry-based learning by providing me with needed funds to purchase consumables and equipment for labs. Thank you so much!"

"Dear NSHSS, I want to thank you for providing this grant to help my students in the BSU and ASU so they may continue their work in cultivating a sense of belonging for students of all identities at our school. It warms my heart to know that NSHSS truly sees the value in investing in our youth. Please keep making dreams come true and never cease pouring into our greatest natural resource, our youth!"

“I want to thank the Scholarship & Grants committee for selecting me for this incredible honor! As a teacher, I went into the profession because I wanted to make a difference in students’ lives and create positive change. Through the application process, this recognition has helped me to reflect on my years as an educator and the impact I am making every day to my students and the community. I am truly humbled by being selected as the 2022 Claes Nobel Educator of the Year from a pool of other educators that are also doing incredible things in their schools. Thank you!”
