Returning Teachers: Important Login Update (Sustaining Grants)

We’ve switched to a new grant system for the 2026-27 school year, so the old login link is no longer in use. Delete any saved login links from previous years so you don’t accidentally use an old page.

Your existing login has already been transferred to the new system. Reset your password to access the new system with your existing login. You will then be able to apply for the sustaining grant within the account portal by pressing the Start New Application button.

Detailed instructions for returning applicants are linked below.
