Toshiba America Foundation Accepting Science and Math Education Project Proposals

Deadline: Rolling

The mission of the Toshiba America Foundation is to promote quality science and mathematics education in U.S. schools. Grants are made for programs and activities that improve teaching and learning in science and mathematics, grades K-12. The foundation focuses its grant making on inquiry-based projects designed by individual teachers, and small teams of teachers, for use in their own classrooms.

The foundation is currently accepting applications for projects for grades 7-12. Toshiba America Foundation offers a separate program for grades K-6. See the foundation's Web site for further information. The grants program is national in scope. Proposals are welcome from public and private (nonprofit) schools throughout the United States. The foundation has also made a special commitment to support projects in regions where Toshiba America Group companies have offices. Decisions about grants of under $5,000 each are made on a rolling basis and applications are accepted throughout the year.
