We often come across opportunities for
teachers and/or students that are better classified as
contests than grants. What you'll find here are opportunities
for groups of individual students and/or teachers.
Please remember that all links open in their own window.
Also, if you know of opportunities that you'd like to share
with your colleagues, please let us know! We're in this
together - for the good of the kids!

Craftsman/NSTA
Young Inventors Award Program
The Craftsman/NSTA Young Inventors Awards Program challenges students to use creativity and imagination along with science, technology, and mechanical ability to invent or modify a tool. The 2002 Young Inventors Awards Program is open to all students in grades 2-8 in the United States and the U.S. Territories. Students must work independently to conceive and design their tool inventions. The student, with guidance from a teacher-advisor, parent, or significant adult, will design and build a tool. The tool must perform a practical function, including (but not limited to) tools that mend, make life easier or safer in some way, entertain, or solve an everyday problem.
The two national winners (one from grades 2-5 and one from grades 6-8) will each receive a $10,000 United States Series EE Savings Bond. The 10 national finalists (five from each grade category) will each receive a $5,000 United States Series EE Savings Bond.

President's
Environmental Youth Awards
The President's Environmental
Youth Awards Program encourages
individuals, school classes,
schools, summer camps,
public interest groups, and youth
organizations in the United States
and its territories to promote
local environmental awareness and
to channel that awareness into
positive community involvement.
This program has two components -
a regional certificate program,
awarded by the Regional Offices of
the U.S. Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA), and the national
awards competition. The regional
certificate program is conducted
year-round so applications can be
submitted at any time. All
participants in the regional
program receive certificates
signed by the U.S. President,
honoring them for their efforts in
environmental protection. One
outstanding project from each of
the ten regional EPA offices is
selected for national recognition.
National individual project
winners, or one representative
from a national award-winning
group project, along with a
project sponsor, will be honored
by EPA Headquarters in Washington,
D.C. Projects must be completed by
K-12 students and must be
sponsored by at least one adult
representative. Application
procedures and Regional EPA
contacts are available on the Web
site. |
