We understand that classroom needs often exceed what budget allows for. CUA offers teacher grants to help fill the gap. Members can request up to $500 by submitting an application at CUofAmerica.com/TGIF. Applications are due June 30 and October 31 each year. Our TGIF program is funded by CUA's Give Back Platinum Visa credit card. A portion of all interest paid goes to the grant program at no cost to the member.
