About This Grant
The Toshiba America Foundation funds innovative hands-on STEM projects for K-12 classrooms across the United States, including Minnesota schools. The foundation runs two grant tracks: one for grades K-5 and one for grades 6-12. Awards range from $1,000 to $10,000 depending on the grade level and project scope.
For grades 6-12, the application deadline is October 1 each year. Proposals should describe a specific classroom project that brings math or science to life through hands-on learning. The foundation prioritizes projects that go beyond textbooks and give students direct experience with scientific inquiry and problem-solving.
Minnesota public and private school teachers are eligible. Funds can cover equipment, materials, and supplies needed to run the proposed classroom project.
