Teacher Grants

At Meritus Credit Union, we love teachers! Educators are always looking for ways to expand their instruction and engage their students — but it can be expensive. That's why we are excited to offer the Meritus Credit Union Teacher Grants Program. 

Teacher Grants Program

Details: Funds received from this grant may go towards purchasing classroom materials, positive behavior incentives, classroom makeovers or other related items or projects to impact student success. Awards are paid directly to the schools for the educators. Grant recipients will be contacted and also announced on our website, Facebook and Instagram.

Eligibility: Applicants must be current teachers at schools located in Acadia, Iberia, Lafayette, St. Martin or Vermilion parishes. Applicants do no need to bank with Meritus Credit Union to apply. Applicants are eligible to receive only one Meritus Credit Union grant award per school calendar year. 

Award: Ten (10) grants available; $250 each

Applications Available: Spring 2025
