Since 1999, TAF has offered grants of up to $1,000 for teachers of Kindergarten through six grade. Any K-6 teacher in a public or private (not-for-profit) school is eligible.

Toshiba America Foundation contributes to the quality of science and mathematics education by investing in projects designed by classroom teachers to improve instruction for students in grades 7-12.

The Foundation strongly encourages projects planned and led by individual teachers or teams of teachers for their own classrooms. Many successful grantees have designed projects that tap into the natural curiosity of their students, enable students to frame their own scientific questions, and incorporate the expertise of community partners.
