Travis Credit Union (TCU) today announced the launch of its Teacher Grant Program, a philanthropic initiative awarding five $1,000 grants to K–12 educators across Northern California. The new program, a first of its kind from TCU, awards funding to enhance classroom learning experiences through supplies, technology and creative projects. It also marks a meaningful expansion of TCU’s educational outreach, which includes its Generation Wealth financial education initiative that has reached more than 13,000 students since 2009, and its annual Community Impact Scholarship Program, which has awarded nearly $700,000 to over 400 students since 2004.
“Travis Credit Union’s Teacher Grant Program underscores our ongoing commitment to financial literacy and community development,” said Kevin Miller, president and chief executive officer at Travis Credit Union. “Teachers are the heart of our community and we’ve seen firsthand the impact they can have on a student. This is our way of saying thank you to the educators who are shaping the future.”
Unlike national programs, TCU’s grant offering is rooted in its longstanding ties to Northern California. It aims to foster student and teacher achievement and promote financial empowerment directly within its service areas.
Open to teachers who are members of Travis Credit Union, the program features a streamlined online application process and will run through Sept. 26, 2025.
Eligible teachers are encouraged to apply at traviscu.org/community-relations/events/.
