Attention science teachers!  Is there science equipment that your students could really use - or a new activity that you want to try out with your students but just don't have the money?  Here is your chance for funding. 

CAST members* may apply for a mini-grant up to a $200 to supplement their science program. Mini-grants are available for elementary, secondary and college-level teachers. Grants that utilize funds for non-consumable items or for innovative activities will be given preference. A thoughtful, detailed**, and complete application improves your chance of getting funding.

* Applicants must be a CAST member for at least one year before applying for the grant. 

** Include specific materials (items, source, cost) to be purchased with the grant monies. If awarded you will be expected to send a copy of the receipt to the CAST treasurer.

In order to support more teachers in more schools, CAST reserves the right to limit the number of grants awarded to a particular individual or school in a 2-year period.

To apply for a mini-grant, please click on the link below. Once your request is received, the CAST Awards and Grants Committee will review the requests and convey their decision to the CAST Treasurer. The treasurer will notify applicants (both those granted and those denied) and arrange for payment.

Grants will be awarded on a rolling basis.
