Humanities
The National Endowment for the Humanities invites K-12 educators to apply for
its Schools for a New Millennium grants. The funding provides a total of as
much as $100,000 for group projects lasting up to three years, such as new
curricula that lead to better teaching and learning of the humanities. Award
amount depends on the size and scope of the project.
Math and Science
The Toshiba America Foundation offers grants to science, mathematics, and
technology teachers. Grants of up to $1,000 each are awarded in October for K-6
proposals; amounts of up to $5,000 are awarded monthly for grades 7-12. All
projects should provide direct benefits to students and include teacher-led,
classroom-based experiences. Public and private schools, local education
agencies, and youth organizations are eligible. Applicants should specify
whether they teach grades K-6, 7-12, or both.
Research
The Foundation's Small Research Grants Program supports short-term research
projects (two years or less) that require no more than $35,000 to complete. The
program supports individual efforts as well as collaborations. There are no
deadlines for this program. Eligibility: Applicants must possess an earned
doctorate and be affiliated with a school, college, university, or cultural
institution. Educators currently employed in K-12 settings who are not pursuing
a graduate degree are also eligible.
The National Endowment for the Humanities
The National Endowment for the Humanities calls for proposals for two types of
grants. The Collaborative Research Grants support either original research by a
team of scholars or research that is coordinated by an individual scholar but
requires additional staffing. The Scholarly Editions Grants fund the
preparation of texts and documents that previously have been either
inaccessible or available only in inadequate editions. Awards are made for 1-3
years and range $25,000-$100,000/year.
Curriculum
The School, Home, and Office Products Association Foundation offers Kids in
Need grants for teachers who have innovative classroom projects but lack the
funding to bring them to life. K-12 public, private, and parochial school
teachers of any subject may apply. Grants, which average $750 and total as much
as $100,000, are awarded for motivational projects and lesson plans.
