Toyota Tapestry Grants Program Offers Funding for K-12 Science Teachers
Deadline: January 18, 2007

A partnership between Toyota Motor Sales, U.S.A., Inc. and the National Science Teachers Association (<a href="http://www.nsta.org/">http://www.nsta.org/</a>), the Toyota Tapestry Grants for Science Teachers program offers grants to K-12 science teachers for innovative projects that enhance science education in a school and/or school district.

This year, fifty large grants of up to $10,000 each and twenty to twenty-five mini-grants of up to $2,500 each will be awarded to K-12 teachers of science in the United States.

The project director should initiate the online proposal. This is the person who will be in charge of the project and implement it during the 2007-08 school year. The project director must be a middle or high school science teacher who teaches a minimum of two science classes per day or an elementary teacher who teaches some science in the classroom. All applicants must have a minimum of at least three years’ science teaching experience in a K-12 school, not counting the current school year. Staff people (up to four allowed) may also work on the proposal.

Complete program information and the online application form are available at the NSTA Web site.
