LUDUS Professional Development Grant 

This grant, of up to $1000.00, is based on the awareness that speech coaches are people, too!
In order to continue investing your time and energy to student speech activities, you need to invest in yourself.

This is a grant for YOU and your personal growth. Funds can be used for a variety of innovative purposes, but preference will be given to those who are trying to improve themselves, grow, learn, and thrive.

Try a new activity, learn a new skill, gain exposure to something new: what will give you the inspiration and energy to keep changing the world, one student at a time? 
Grant money can be used for unique training, experiences, and/or equipment. This grant is not applicable for expenses for your classroom, program, or recertification. This grant is an investment in you. Our goal is to support you and allow you to think beyond the traditional.

The grant is made possible by the generosity of Ludus. Ludus powers ticketing, marketing, and fundraising for performing arts organizations.  Learn more at Ludus.com.
