Thankful FOR YOU Grant
Our teachers have courageously taken on online learning and continuously made the most out of a very difficult situation. In making online learning the best they possibly can for FTCSC students, many of our staff members have incurred out of pocket expenses for online platforms and programs used for instructional purposes.
FTEF, through the generosity of donations, is excited to offer a grant as an opportunity to be reimbursed for those expenses. The thankful FOR YOU Grant will continue until the available money has been exhausted.
FTCSC teachers currently instructing courses are eligible for this grant. Purchases, confirmed with a receipt, made from March 2020 to the date of submission are eligible to be considered for reimbursement. Priority will be given to those submissions that directly impact the delivery of online instruction to students learning virtually and are programs Nadine Gilkison has shared in professional development and on her Dashboard. Thank you!
