Applications open for Cox ‘Innovation in Education’ grants

TULSA — Educators with a plan for an innovative educational program that could really impact their students can apply for a grant of up to $10,000 to make that plan a reality.

The money comes from Cox Charities, and is funded through donations by employees of Cox Communications and Cox Media Group.

The “Innovation in Education” grants are available to public and private schools, pre-K through 12th Grade.

As Carly Senger with Cox points out, the grants couldn’t be more timely, considering the budget problems faced by educators in Oklahoma.

“We know that it has never been a more challenging time to be an educator in the state of Oklahoma,” she said Wednesday, “so we’re thrilled to be able to offer these Innovation in Education grants.”

Nearly 2,000 Cox employees contribute to the fund, which has awarded more that $6.4 million to non-profits and schools in the Tulsa and Oklahoma City areas since 2005.

To apply for the 2018-19 school year, visit the Tulsa Cox Charities website.

The deadline for the applications is March 1, 2018.
