Rural School District Educator Development 2024 Grant is a grant from the Patterson Family Foundation that funds educator development in rural school districts across the United States. The program addresses challenges rural districts face in recruiting, training, and retaining high-quality educators, supporting paraprofessionals, substitutes, and current staff seeking certifications to fill critical roles. Priority is given to districts that want to build internal capacity rather than hire from outside. Eligible applicants are rural school districts in the U.S. The application window for the 2024 cycle is now closed; prospective applicants should monitor the foundation's website for future cycles.

Beginning with the June 12, 2025 due date, the CURE ACE Award is available in both Independent Clinical Trial Required and Independent Clinical Trial Not Allowed versions. Eligible applicants must be U.S. citizens or permanent residents at time of award.
