We're here to help you.

Our Grant program exists to provide financial assistance to district teachers in order to fund unique educational projects and programs not typically covered by state or local funds. Our grant program offers educators the chance to bring innovative and impactful ideas to life, enhancing the learning experience for students in Crandall ISD. We strongly believe that these grants are essential for providing students with the best possible education, and we encourage all of our district's teachers to apply.


Together,  we can continue to make a positive difference in the lives of Crandall ISD's students.

CEF Grant

Individuals or teams employed by Crandall ISD who are involved in the instruction of students or support services are eligible to apply for grants. Grants up to $1,000 will be awarded to individual teacher-initiated programs or projects. Up to $5,000 will be awarded to campus teams, departments, and district-initiated programs or projects. Examples of grants in the past may be as significant as a greenhouse campus project to specific classroom needs as a book-set.

Teacher of the Year Grant

One teacher per month, beginning the month of September is selected for each campus. Nominations may be made by teachers, students, and citizens of CISD. Forms are turned in to the Principal’s office of each campus before the entry deadline. The Principal is responsible for the selection of the Teacher of the Month each month. One Teacher of the Year is selected from each campus out of the monthly nominations at the end of the year. However, only one elementary and one secondary teacher advance to the Region 10 District competition.


Each year one CISD District Teacher of the Year is selected from elementary and secondary for this special recognition. The CEF awards each district teacher of the year with a $500 classroom grant to honor them and recognize their outstanding service to the students of Crandall ISD.

Congratulations to the 2025 Teachers of the Year!
