Grades 6-12 Teacher Grants Under $5,000 (Toshiba America Foundation)

Toshiba America Foundation Science and Math Grants for Grades K-5 is a grant from the Toshiba America Foundation that funds innovative science and math classroom projects for elementary students. Awards of up to $5,000 are available to K-5 classroom teachers in public, private, or homeschool settings with a focus on STEM education. The deadline to apply is October 1, 2026. Teachers can use funding to design and implement hands-on science and math learning experiences that go beyond the standard curriculum. The program encourages educators to propose original, inquiry-based projects that spark student curiosity and improve STEM skills in the early grades. This grant directly supports frontline educators seeking resources to enrich STEM instruction at the elementary level.

TVA STEM Classroom Awards is sponsored by Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA). This program supports K-12 STEM projects within the TVA service area. Projects should incorporate design thinking, promote 21st-century skills, and help students build college and career readiness through hands-on STEM learning. Proposed projects must support at least one of TVA's four priority areas: Environment, Energy, Economic and Career Development, or Community Problem Solving.
