For the fifth year, Mountain America Credit Union is pleased to award grants to support K-12 classroom learning. The Mountain America Education Grants were awarded to ten educational professionals in Utah and Idaho, with up to $1,500 awarded to each grant winner.

“Mountain America is honored to provide hands-on learning experiences that help students develop critical skills,” says Sharon Cook, chief marketing and public relations officer at Mountain America Credit Union. “These programs provide students with a strong foundation that allows them to continue to develop and grow.” 

This year’s grant program will fund a variety of programs, including entrepreneurial, music, STEM, and development programs. These initiatives will allow students to cultivate important skills through running businesses, developing fine motor and coding skills, playing musical instruments, participating in speech therapy sessions and occupational therapy activities, and deepening understanding of science by using snap circuits and augmented reality merge cubes.

Mountain America will announce its grant opportunities for the 2021-2022 school year on macu.com/scholarships in spring 2021.
