Outreach Awards

The Outreach Awards Program is offered to teachers at the elementary and secondary levels to help teachers incorporate inquiry-based, investigative activities into their science curriculum, allowing more hands-on science experiments with your students.

  • Only K-12 Colorado teachers are eligible to apply. Priority for grant distribution will be given to teachers who participate in a BSI teacher workshop between January 2012 through October 2012, and/or to teachers in high need schools.

  • Awards are given out once a year and schools may only receive one award per year. A single applicant from one school may apply for up to $500, while multiple applicants from one school may apply for up to $1,000.

  • Award application deadline: November 9, 2012

  • Awards must be used to purchase equipment for student/classroom use. Examples of funded equipment include, but are not limited to: balances, anatomical models, microscopes, density kits, biotech, forensics, and probeware. Generally we do not fund consumables (chemicals, dissection animals or parts), fieldtrips, school textbooks, and AV/computer items.

  • Awards are based on the quality of the project and application.

  • We will require you to fill out an evaluation after you use the equipment/materials in your classroom.
