Grant funds are an important source of funding for educators, allowing them to access resources that may otherwise be out of reach. Grants provide a reliable source of financial support for educational projects and initiatives, enabling teachers and administrators to develop innovative approaches in their classrooms and schools. By giving educators the necessary resources to explore new ideas, grant funds can help foster creativity and facilitate meaningful learning experiences for students. In addition, grants can also fund technology upgrades or other equipment purchases which could have a significant impact on student success. Ultimately, grant funds are essential in helping educators create enriching learning environments where students can flourish.

Walter is very involved with the education system in the Baton Rouge area, with a focus on urban education, which is why he would like to give back to a future educator who has the passion to improve upon the some of the issues facing urban education. Urban education systems are often plagued by a variety of issues that can impede student success. Limited resources, overcrowded classrooms, and outdated technology are just some of the challenges facing urban schools. In addition, many urban school districts lack access to additional funding sources such as grants or other forms of financial aid which could be used to purchase new equipment or provide students with additional educational opportunities. This lack of resources means that students in urban areas often struggle academically due to inadequate facilities and limited access to learning materials. Without adequate funds for improvement projects or technological upgrades, it can be difficult for teachers and administrators in these settings to create meaningful learning experiences for their students.
