About grants for science teachers

Grants for science teachers fund classroom projects, equipment, materials, and professional development that bring hands-on science learning to students. Many funders award grants directly to individual teachers, including the Toshiba America Foundation, which funds K-12 STEM classroom projects, and the crowdfunding platform DonorsChoose, which lets the public fund teacher-submitted requests. Science and education associations, corporate STEM programs, and local foundations round out the available funding.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much money do grants for science teachers award?

Of the 109 grants for science teachers Grantable lists as of October 19, 2026, 66 publish an award amount. The median listed award is $5,000, and the middle half fall between $1,575 and $10K. The largest is $600K. Amounts are each grant's stated maximum, so a typical award can be smaller.

Which funders offer the most grants for science teachers?

By number of active listings, the leading funders are American Chemical Society (14), National Science Teachers Association (5), Computer Science Teachers Association (4), American Physical Society (3), and Education (3). In all, 78 funders have at least one active grant in this category.

When are grants for science teachers due?

Of 109 grants listed, 1 accept applications on a rolling basis, 11 have a published upcoming deadline, 19 run on a stated cycle (such as annual or quarterly) without a published date, and 78 don't publish a deadline, so check the funder's site.

What grants are available for science teachers?

Science teachers can apply for grants that fund classroom equipment, lab supplies, project materials, and conference attendance or professional development. The Toshiba America Foundation funds innovative K-12 STEM classroom projects designed by teachers, and platforms like DonorsChoose let supporters fund specific classroom requests. Science education associations and corporate STEM programs offer additional teacher grants.

Who funds science teachers?

Funders include the Toshiba America Foundation, science and education associations, corporate STEM philanthropy from technology and engineering companies, and crowdfunding platforms such as DonorsChoose. Local community foundations and education foundations also fund science classrooms. These programs are generally separate from large federal formula grants, which flow to districts rather than to individual teachers.

Can individual science teachers apply directly?

Yes. Unlike most federal funding, many of these grants are designed for individual teachers or small teams to fund projects in their own classrooms. The Toshiba America Foundation, for example, funds projects created by one teacher or a small group, and DonorsChoose is built entirely around teacher-submitted requests. Confirm whether the funder requires school or principal sign-off before applying.
