Classroom Grants | Voya. com For two decades, and with nearly $5 million in awarded grants, Voya Unsung Heroes has proven to be an A+ program with educators. The program’s “alumni” have inspired success in the classroom and impacted tens of thousands of students.
Each year, educators submit applications for a Voya Unsung Heroes grant by describing projects they have initiated or would like to pursue. Each project is judged on its innovative method, creativity and ability to positively influence the students. Fifty finalists are selected to receive a $2,000 grant, payable to both the winning teacher and his or her school.
At least one grant is awarded in each of the 50 states, provided at least one qualified application was received from each state. Of the 50 finalists, three are selected for additional financial awards: $25,000 for first place; $10,000 for second place; and $5,000 for third place.
Captain Planet Foundation Voya’s partnership with Captain Planet Foundation provides ecoTech™ grants to innovative environmental science programs driven by both students and their educators across the country.
Specifically designated for projects that get students out of their classroom or home to explore the intersection of technology and the environment, the grants are collaborative in nature and are meant for educators to engage students not only in the funded projects but in the program design itself.
Examples of previous ecoTech™ grant funded projects have involved the integration of robotics and sensors to explore water bodies, collect data, and organize clean-ups; the development of aquaponic and hydroponic systems using Arduino and remote sensing; renewable energy design challenges; biotechnology research; nature-based design applications; and many others.
While Voya Foundation supports ecoTech™ programs around Voya Financial locations, funding opportunities are available nationally for a wide scope of programming and development.

Purpose of Program: The major purposes of the CSP are to expand opportunities for all students,particularly traditionally underserved students, to attend charter schools [1] and meet challenging State academic standards; provide financial assistance for the planning, program design, and initial implementation of public charter schools; increase the number of high-quality charter schools available to students across the United States; evaluate the impact of charter schools on student achievement, families, and communities; share best practices between charter schools and other public schools; encourage States to provide facilities support to charter schools; and support efforts to strengthen the charter school authorizing process. Through CSP Grants to Charter School Developers for the Opening of New Charter Schools and for the Replication and Expansion of High-Quality Charter Schools (CFDA numbers 84.282B and 84.282E, respectively) (also referred to as Developer Grants), the Department provides funds to charter school developers on a competitive basis to enable them to open new charter schools (CFDA number 84.282B) or replicate or expand high-quality charter schools(CFDA number 84.282E). Eligibility for a grant under this competition is limited to charter school developers in States that do not currently have a CSP State Entity grant (CFDA number 84.282A) under the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965 (ESEA), as amended by the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA). [2] Eligibility in a State with a CSP State Educational Agency (SEA) grant under the ESEA, as amended by the No Child LeftBehind Act of 2001 (NCLB) (CFDA number 84.282A), is limited to charter school developers applying for grants for the replication and expansion of high-quality charter schools (CFDA number 84.282E) and only if the Department has not approved an amendment to the SEA’s approved grant application authorizing the SEA to make subgrants for replication and expansion. Charter schools that receive financial assistance through Developer Grants provide programs of elementary or secondary education, or both, and may also serve students in early childhood education programs or postsecondary students. Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance (CFDA) number 84.282B. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On July 3, 2019, we published in the Federal Register a notice inviting applications for new awards for FY 2019 for CSP--Grants to Charter School Developers for the Opening of New Charter Schools and for the Replication and Expansion of High-Quality Charter Schools (84 FR 31852). This notice corrects footnote 6 by adding `` Massachusetts'' to the list of States that have approved amendment requests that authorize the SEA to make subgrants for replication and expansion, thereby making developers located in Massachusetts ineligible to apply for this grant competition. Correction In FR Doc. 2019-14267, we are revising footnote 6 on page 31858 in the first column to read as follows: States in which the SEA currently has an approved CSP SEA grant application under the ESEA, as amended by NCLB (i.e., a grant award made in fiscal year 2016 or earlier), and have approved amendment requests that authorize the SEA to make subgrants for replication and expansion, include California, District of Columbia, Massachusetts, Nevada, Ohio, and Oregon. We will not consider applications from applicants in these States under CFDA 84.282E either.
