Grants For Grades 6 - 12
- Do you teach in a middle and high school classroom?
- Do you have an innovative idea for improving STEM (Science, technology, engineering and math) learning in your classroom?
- Is your idea project based learning with measurable outcomes?
- What do you need to make learning STEM subjects fun for your students?
Sixth to 12th grade teachers are invited to apply on-line for a Toshiba America Foundation grant of up to $5,000 and more than $5,000 to help bring an innovative project into their own classroom.
With a Toshiba America Foundation grant, sixth to 12th grade teachers can bring their best new teaching ideas to life.

Things TAF does not fund >>
What TAF wants to see in your applications >>
We are trying to consider the impact of the Corona virus on teachers and education. Once again, it is for the teachers to determine how to work in or without the live classroom. We cannot presume to suggest how teachers should deal with the obstacles that social distancing and safety concerns place in your way. Our practice has been to consider only one application at a time from any single teacher. Now, however, we will consider alternative proposals contingent upon how, when, and if schools are open as usual. Under the circumstances, we will also try to be more accommodating in considering the kinds of equipment or expenses we can fund.
Toshiba America Foundation will not contribute to general operations, capital projects, endowments, conferences, independent study, fund raising events, or similar activities. Religious or political projects will not be supported. Organizations that discriminate on the basis of sex, race, age, disability or religion are not eligible for funding. No grants will be made to individuals. Summer projects, club or after school programs cannot be considered. Salaries, facility maintenance, textbooks, video production, audio-visual equipment (e.g. electronic white boards, document projectors, student response systems) and education research will not be funded. No grants are available for computer hardware (including laptops, desktop computers, and tablets). No single school may receive more than one grant at a time. No new applications will be considered from grantees until final reports are approved. TAF funding is usually directed to K-12 schools. Educational nonprofits and universities working with K-12 teachers are occasionally considered, but please call the foundation first.
