The Voya Unsung Heroes Awards are a scholarship program offered by Voya Financial to support K-12 educators who have innovative teaching ideas and projects to enhance student learning. The program has been running since 1996 and has awarded over $5 million in grants to more than 2,500 educators across the United States.
The Voya Unsung Heroes Awards are awarded based on the creativity, originality, and impact of the proposed project or teaching idea. The awards provide financial assistance to educators to implement their projects and ideas in their classrooms.
The application process for the Voya Unsung Heroes Awards typically opens in the spring of each year, and the application deadline is usually in the early summer. Applicants are required to apply form, a detailed project description, and a budget proposal. A panel of judges, including educators and community leaders, review the applications and select the winners.
The Voya Unsung Heroes Awards not only provide financial support to educators but also recognize and celebrate their dedication and commitment to improving student learning outcomes.
