The Bent Tree Foundation is once again investing in innovation and excellence in education by inviting Pickens County educators to apply for its 2026 Teacher Grants Program.
Since launching the program in 2011, the Bent Tree Foundation has awarded more than $105,000 in grants to educators throughout Pickens County Schools. These grants have helped bring creative ideas, engaging learning opportunities, and valuable classroom resources to students across the district.
The program is open to a wide range of educators, including classroom teachers, media specialists, school counselors, and Connections teachers. Grant funding supports projects that enhance student learning, encourage creativity, and provide educational experiences beyond what traditional classroom budgets can offer.
Educators are encouraged to submit innovative proposals that will make a meaningful impact on their students and school communities.
The application deadline is September 8, 2026.
Grant applications and program information are available on the Bent Tree Foundation website at www.benttreefoundation.org.
The Bent Tree Foundation is proud to support the dedicated educators of Pickens County Schools and looks forward to helping bring another year of inspiring classroom projects to life.
