Nominate a Teacher, Grant Recipients

The response to this year’s “Nominate a teacher” program took the LendingTree Bowl by surprise. “Nominate a teacher” ran from September 20^th to November 1^st receiving almost 800 submissions, which was up significantly from the 131 nominations the previous year.

Through this program, the LendingTree Bowl chose 10 teachers to receive recognition and funding for their efforts and commitment to educating our children from the College Football Playoff (CFP) Foundation. Each recipient will receive $1,000 to utilize in their classroom to improve student learning, and grow their teaching resources. The Grant recipients will be recognized on the field during this year’s game.
