The Governor's Educator Excellence Award Program-Texas Educator Excellence Grant is authorized by House Bill 1, enacted in the third called session of the 79th legislative session, subchapter N, Awards for Student Achievement.

The purpose of the Governor's Educator Excellence Award Program-Texas Educator Excellence Grant is to provide a system of financial incentives to award educators who demonstrate the ability to achieve higher levels of student academic performance. Grants will be awarded based on the percentage of educationally disadvantaged students and high levels of achievement or growth in student achievement.

The goals of this program are to create a financial incentives system for educators and to increase student academic achievement. Funds will be distributed in two parts: Part I-Teacher Incentives (not less than 75% of the award) and Part II-Additional Incentives (not more than 25% of the award).
