Grant application deadline for Hardin and LaRue County teachers this Saturday

The deadline is approaching for Hardin and LaRue County teachers to apply for Nolin RECC’s Be a Light Teacher Grants.

“Teachers really bear a lot of expense out of their personal funds to outfit their classroom, to provide things for their students, and this is a way for us to give back to those individuals,” said Nolin RECC Operation Round-Up Board Chair Price Smith. 

30 $200 grants will be awarded. The grants are made possible by the Operation Round-Up program that is supported by co-op members.

“Operation Round-Up is a voluntary program where Nolin members can round up their electric bills to the next highest dollar,” Smith said. “Those funds are aggregated together and given out in the form of impact grants in the year.”

Nolin RECC says more than $400,000 has been awarded in Operation Round-Up grants since 2006. The application deadline for the Be a Light Teacher Grants is August 31. Find the application at www.nolinrecc.com.
