The College Football Playoff Foundation’s primary philanthropic initiative, Extra Yard for Teachers, elevates the teaching profession by inspiring and empowering teachers through the implementation of programs in four focus areas: resources, recognition, recruitment and professional development.
Through Extra Yard for Teachers initiative, the Military Bowl will provide grants to deserving public school teachers for use in their classrooms and for their students. Preference will be given to teachers who are veterans or from military families as well as to teachers who serve communities with significant military populations.
Nominations and submissions for the grants can be made through September 30. Selected teachers will be honored at the Military Bowl game on Saturday, December 28 at Navy-Marine Corps Memorial Stadium.
