Outreach Awards
 The
Outreach Awards Program is offered to pre-college educators at the elementary
and secondary levels because an interest in science is often sparked long
before a student reaches the university level. As teachers incorporate
an increasing number of inquiry-based, investigative activities into their
science curriculum, equipment is often needed and funding is scarce. The
goal of the Outreach Awards Program is to help make funds available
to teachers for equipment to help you do more hands-on science experiments
with your students.
- Grants will be
awarded in two cycles:
Winter applications are due November 28, 2008
Spring applications are due April 17, 2009
- Teachers may receive
only one grant in a single academic year.
- The maximum award
amount is $500.
- Awards must be
used to purchase equipment for student/classroom use. Please see examples
of funded equipment.
- We will require
you to fill out an evaluation (that we provide) after you use the
equipment /materials in your classroom.
