Last Call for 2026 Read Conmigo Educator Grant Applications
The Read Conmigo Educator Grants provides $3,000 to elementary educators with dual-language programs, and applications for the 2026 Read Conmigo Educator Grants are due on June 15.
Previous winners have received funding for projects that empower students through innovative, hands-on learning experiences that foster creativity, critical thinking, STEM exploration, communications skills, social-emotional growth, and community engagement.
Here are a few tips and reminders from the Kemper Foundation to ensure a strong submission:
- Review all documents on the website, such as the FAQs.
- Write the core content of your application yourself. While AI tools can be helpful, it’s important that your application reflects your unique voice and vision.
- Show your authentic self in your bio by highlighting your passion for bilingual education and your approach in the classroom as well as detailing your education and professional achievements.
- It is recommended to draft your responses in a Word or Google document before entering them into the grant portal.
- Review your full application before submission to ensure that your narrative responses match your budget.
Beginning this year, the Read Conmigo Educator Grants will transition to one application cycle each year. This will be the only opportunity to apply during the 2026 calendar year.
