Freedoms Foundation Accepting Nominations for 2015 Leavey Awards
Since 1977, the Freedoms Foundation has recognized outstanding teachers for their efforts to bring passion and creativity to their classrooms as they teach students about entrepreneurship and the free enterprise system. To date, the program has recognized nearly five hundred teachers from across the country and has awarded more than $3 million in grants.
The foundation is accepting nominations for the 2015 Leavey Awards, an annual program that recognizes educators at the elementary, junior high school, high school, and college levels for innovative and effective techniques related to the teaching of entrepreneurship and the free enterprise system. Up to twenty cash awards of $7,500 each will be awarded. In addition, one meritorious award of $15,000 may be presented for an outstanding entry.
To be eligible, nominees must be a citizen or permanent resident of the United States employed full-time as an educator at an accredited American school (grades K-12), college, or university.
Visit the Freedoms Foundation website for complete program guidelines, information about 2014 award recipients, and application guidelines.
