Award grants provide an opportunity to honor those most deserving. Often, recognition for the contributions of teachers and their accomplishments in education go unnoticed, or certainly not sufficiently given the honor that they are due. Award grants may not solve the bigger problem, but at least you have the chance to do something on a smaller, individual scale to show your appreciation to someone deserving of praise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

GrantWatch<\/a><\/strong> recognizes educators and academics by making sure to list grant awards in their directory. In fact, they have a specific category designated for Awards<\/strong><\/a>, with dozens of award grants listed. For educators, monetary awards and\/or prizes can supplement salaries and bridge pay gaps. Besides, they also serve to demonstrate the profound impact that teacher have on their students, and the bonds they share with their communities. But in addition to being a great way to show your appreciation, receiving a (monetary) award can also help play an important role in terms of future recognition. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

For Haley Gomez<\/a><\/strong>, professor of astrophysics and head of public engagement for the School of Physics and Astronomy at Cardiff University in the United Kingdom, winning the Royal Astronomical Society’s Fowler Prize<\/a><\/strong> in 2015 for her scientific contributions has “made a huge difference” when applying for promotions and research grants. Gomez adds, “It’s almost a badge that says you are externally recognised (sic) as having achieved something by your community. It’s also something to distinguish yourself against others in grant applications.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
