Sol Hirsch Education Fund Grants are awarded annually to teachers/educators of grades K-12 to help improve the education of their students, their school, and/or their community in the science of meteorology. The grants were established in 1994 thanks to the generosity of former National Weather Association Executive Director Sol Hirsch and many NWA members, and were transferred to the National Weather Association Foundation in 2017.
The Grant is intended to allow teachers to:
* Purchase scientific materials and / or equipment for the classroom, school or community.
* Begin new school and / or community science outreach and education programs.
* Enhance and / or expand existing meteorology / science education programs.
* Attend accredited courses, workshops and /or conferences related
to meteorology that will significantly enhance their teaching
activities.
The grant money may be awarded up to $750, if a suitable recipient is
available, and to one or more teachers/educators to cover qualified
education expenses.
