Scholastic Education: Classroom Grants (Michigan)
Small classroom grants from Scholastic for K-12 teachers to fund books, materials, and STEM supplies.
About This Grant
Scholastic offers classroom grants to K-12 teachers to fund books, materials, and educational supplies. While primarily a book publisher, Scholastic has supported STEM and technology programs as well. Grants typically range from $500 to $5,000.
These grants are most useful for smaller classroom-level purchases. A teacher seeking one set of coding kits or hands-on project materials can find Scholastic grants accessible and relatively straightforward.
Scholastic grant cycles are periodic and not always publicly announced far in advance. Teachers should check scholastic.com/grants regularly.
