Who can apply for TEA sponsorship
TEA applicants must be authorized representatives of the award program or
organization that is seeking sponsorship. The TEA program does not administer
an application and/or selection process for individual educators. If you are
an educator who has received a teacher-recognition award, your award program
coordinator may submit an application on your behalf. We encourage all outstanding
teachers and administrators to apply for educator-recognition programs within
their own community. See Eligibility
for more information.
