Scholarships for Geogia Educators
The International Dyslexia Association’s motto is Until Everyone Can Read. In support of the mission, IDA Georgia provides scholarships to help offset the personal costs of Structured Literacy training for educators. Our goal is to promote evidence-based literacy instruction and equip teachers with the knowledge and skills needed to help students who struggle to learn to read.
Who is Eligible?
✅ Applicants must be:
- Teachers (General Education, Special Education, Reading Specialists, Literacy Coaches)
or School-based professionals (SLPs, School Psychologists, Administrators) - Employed in a public or private school in Georgia
- Current IDA members
📌 Note: This scholarship funds individual educators, not schools or districts. Administrators may apply if they seek to deepen their understanding of effective literacy instruction.
📌 Currently, this scholarship is not intended for tutor training.

“Teaching reading to a student who does not learn easily or naturally is a complex and challenging professional enterprise that requires deep knowledge of content, of the cognitive and language factors that shape student learning, and of pedagogical detail.”
— Dr. Louisa Moats
