The answer to this issue depends on the intention of the donating entity. If the teacher is included in the grant, then he has a right to the money, just like the other students. However, if the grant is designated for students only, then the teacher has no right to it; rather, he is an agent distributing it according to the donor's condition. The teacher should inquire with the donating entity to dispel any doubt.
