Grants and Fellowships
Grants for Educators
Our grants help educators teach people about the world and how it works, empowering them to make it a better place. Projects may introduce innovative instructional strategies, take proven ideas and scale or adapt them for different audiences, or measure what is working in education and add to the body of knowledge about how people learn.
Grosvenor Teacher Fellows Program
This professional development opportunity for pre-K-12 educators is made possible by a partnership between Lindblad Expeditions and the National Geographic Society. An annual competitive application process is used to select educators and host them aboard Lindblad Expeditions’ voyages for a life-changing, field-based experience.
Micro-credentials
Micro-credentials are an innovative professional learning opportunity that reward educators for demonstrating mastery of certain skills in their own classrooms. Through our partnership with Digital Promise, educators can apply for National Geographic micro-credentials in topics like Geographic Thinking and Service Learning. Upon completion, educators will be rewarded with digital badges that are accepted across several platforms.
