LTSF Relocation Grants: Supporting International Educators, Strengthening Dual Language Education
The Lawrence Township School Foundation (LTSF) is proud to support our district's commitment to diversity and educational excellence through the LTSF Relocation Grants. These grants serve as a "bridge fund" for international faculty relocating to teach in our expanding dual immersion programs, providing crucial financial support to help ease their transition into our schools and community.
What are the LTSF Relocation Grants?
The LTSF Relocation Grants are designed to cover immediate, essential housing needs during the initial relocation period. Faculty relocating internationally to support our dual language immersion programs can apply for financial assistance to bridge the gap before their first paycheck. Grants are assessed based on individual needs by the district, ensuring each educator has the resources to establish a smooth and welcoming start in their new environment.
**Currently the application process is closed. All funds for 2024-2025 academic year have been utilized.
Why We Support Relocation for International Educators
International faculty bring invaluable global perspectives, language skills, and cultural insights to our classrooms. Through the Relocation Grants, we aim to alleviate common financial stresses such as initial housing expenses associated with relocating abroad, allowing these educators to focus on what matters most: teaching and connecting with their students. By facilitating a supportive, welcoming transition, we are fostering an environment where our students can thrive in a rich, dual language setting.
Our Commitment to Community and Diversity
The Relocation Grants are more than financial support—they represent our district’s dedication to cultivating a global learning community. As our international educators settle into Lawrence Township, these grants provide the foundation for their successful integration, enhancing our educational landscape with diverse perspectives and bilingual expertise.
How You Can Support the Relocation Grants Program
Through community donations and partnerships, the Relocation Grants can continue to support international educators as they join our school family. By supporting this program, you are contributing to a culturally rich educational experience for students, helping to create a vibrant, inclusive school community.
Join us in strengthening dual language education and supporting the talented educators who make it possible. Together, we can build a community where diversity and excellence go hand in hand, enriching the lives of students and faculty alike.
