The Citrus County Education Association (CCEA), representing the teachers and the education support professionals (ESP) of Citrus County, is offering 4 scholarships of  $750 each.  Three of the scholarships are for one graduating senior at each of the three Citrus County high schools – Citrus High School, Crystal River High School, and Lecanto High School.  The fourth scholarship is an OTHER  School scholarship for a graduating senior of a CCEA member who does not attend one of the three Citrus County high schools –  example: A high school outside of Citrus County (parent/guardian works in Citrus and is a CCEA member but the child attends a high school outside of Citrus County).

CCEA Member Grants/Scholarships are now available to all active CCEA members, both Teachers and ESP, who are either working in coursework* which will enhance their classroom teaching or school job skills or seeking a teaching degree. The grants range up to $250.00 for taking continuing education classes or training completed between July 1, 2021 and June 30, 2022. Proof of enrollment in coursework or trainings must also be furnished by each applicant.

Previous CCEA grant winners are entitled to apply again, but because of limited funding, priority will be given to those who have yet to receive a CCEA grant.
