IREX is pleased to announce the recipients of the Spring 2013 TEA/ILEP Alumni Small Grants competition. IREX, in conjunction with an independent selection committee and the Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs of the U.S. Department of State, selected 8 alumni of the Teaching Excellence and Achievement Program (TEA) [4] and 4 alumni of the International Leaders in Education Program (ILEP) [5] to receive funding to support their original small grant project ideas.
All alumni of the TEA and ILEP programs are eligible to apply for small grants, which support projects benefitting secondary education in their home countries. Projects are awarded twice a year. Projects awarded this cycle include a multi-country cultural appreciation project with students in Poland, India, and the U.S., an environmental project in Haiti, and a literacy program in the Philippines. See below for a complete list of Small Grant recipients and their projects.
Congratulations and good luck to all the grant winners as they begin implementing their projects. The next deadline for TEA/ILEP Alumni Small Grant applications is July 1, 2013 [6].
