The Read2Succeed Literacy Grant was established in the fall of 2008 to provide manipulatives and consumable materials to elementary teachers, enhancing the learning experiences for their students.  The University of Phoenix Central Florida Campus has sponsored this grant category for the past two years.

Classroom teachers in grades Kindergarten - 5 are eligible to apply for up to $250 grants for literacy materials such as books, workbooks and flashcards.  Community and education leaders judge grant applications in a competitive process, with preference given to creative proposals that involve the greatest number of under-performing students.

Since 1996, grants totaling over $1.95 million have been awarded to Orange County Public School teachers to enrich the instructional programs for our students by encouraging innovation and creative projects.
