2020 Utah Agriculture in the Classroom Award Application

Application Deadline - October 9, 2020
Utah Agriculture in the Classroom (AITC) is awarding ten $500 awards to Utah pre-kindergarten through 12th grade core education teachers whose innovative classroom projects use agricultural concepts to teach reading, writing, math, healthy lifestyles, science, or social studies. The deadline for award applications is October 9, 2020 at midnight. All applicants will be notified of award status by email on or before October 23, 2020. The purpose of the Utah AITC Classroom Award is to encourage teachers to use agricultural concepts to teach core subject areas. This award is designed to fund projects that will educate Utah Pre-K-12 students about the importance of agriculture. Only fully completed applications will be considered.

For teachers interested in applying for a $500 award, Utah AITC will host a 30-minute webinar on September 23, 2020, at 4:00 PM. This webinar is not required to apply, but available for teachers to ask questions and learn more about using the $500 award money in their classroom.
