Classroom teachers can apply for one of six mini grants offered by the Maryland Retired School Personnel Association (MRSPA). The mini grants — awarding up to $500 per teacher — may be used on special projects or activities that are not funded through the school system, PTA or PTSO. The grants are sent to the winning teacher’s school for use in the current school year.

Completed mini grant applications must be email to mrspa@mrspa.org by Nov. 1. with winners notified in January. To learn more about the program, visit www.mrspa.org. To obtain an application, click here.

Questions can be directed to MRSPA at 410-551-1517 or mrspa@mrspa.org.
