The Pro D Committee will give first priority for funding to applicants who did not receive funding in the previous school year.
Funding is limited and is not guaranteed. Please get your application in as soon as possible. We do not accept applications that are submitted after the Pro D has started.
All members of the GVTA (contract teachers and TTOCs alike) are entitled to access funds from the Joint GVTA/GVSD Pro-D Fund.
