The Hawaii State Federal Credit Union announced that nearly $40,000 in grants were awarded to Hawaii public school teachers in 2020.
The funding came from the Investing in Education grant program, distributing grants to public school teachers across Oahu, Maui, Kauai and Molokai.
“Since 2009, Hawaii State FCU’s Investing in Education grant program has supported teachers by providing grants to purchase needed supplies, technology and tools to enhance classroom learning,” said Andrew Rosen, president and CEO of Hawaii State FCU. “The need, especially during this past year, has never been greater. Our teachers have had to step up to the challenge of maintaining engagement and enrichment in both distance-learning and modified-classroom settings. We’re proud to continue our support for these selfless teachers and their efforts to continually expand the academic opportunities for our students.”
Hawaii State FCU’s Investing in Education grant program has awarded nearly $325,000 in grants since 2009.
