TELL (Tellers Empowered as Learning Leaders) Grants

In 2002, the FSA Board of Directors created the third grant program, the TELL Grants.

These grants support individual FSA Members by offering reimbursement for registration, travel and accommodations for those attending workshops, as well as funds to assist groups/chapters in hosting professional development events.

A Gathering could apply to FSA for up to $200 to help provide for a facility, to fund the honorarium for the workshop leader, or to help cover other costs of the Gathering.
