Required next actionMatch the correct grade-band application and project size, define a hands-on project-based STEM experience with tangible student outcomes, identify the equipment and materials needed, and prepare the teacher-led application for the October 1, November 1, or December 1 cycle as applicable.

Broad Eligibility

Toshiba America Foundation supports K–12 STEM educators at public and nonprofit private schools throughout the United States. K–5 teachers may seek up to $1,000 for innovative classroom projects. Grades 6–12 STEM teachers use separate recurring application tracks for requests of $5,000 or less and requests over $5,000. The program is focused on teacher-designed, project-based STEM learning with tangible classroom outcomes.

Atlas Analysis

Atlas Opportunity Score 86/100. National reach, recurring deadlines, direct-to-teacher access and demonstrated funding for classroom equipment make this a useful school-funding opportunity with a large prospective applicant universe. N9+ Direct Vendor Fit is estimated at 28/100 because the verified purpose is STEM instruction rather than healthcare delivery; Atlas should not force an N9+ commercial pathway absent a genuinely appropriate biomedical or health-science classroom project and confirmed budget fit. The September 1 grades 6–12 cycle is too close for new outreach under Atlas's 48-hour rule because Toshiba does not publish an exact closing time, while the October 1, November 1 and December 1 cycles provide future outreach windows.

Toshiba America Foundation provides recurring national grants directly to K-12 STEM educators for hands-on, project-based classroom learning. Public and nonprofit private schools are eligible through teacher-led applications.

For grades K-5, grants are available up to $1,000 with an October 1 deadline. For grades 6-12, Toshiba maintains separate cycles for requests of $5,000 or less and requests over $5,000, supporting equipment and materials that enable tangible classroom STEM projects.

Upcoming 2026 cycles

After the September 1 grades 6-12 cycle, the next stated deadlines are October 1, 2026 for K-5, November 1, 2026 for grades 6-12 requests over $5,000, and December 1, 2026 for grades 6-12 requests of $5,000 or less. This is a strong school-grant opportunity, but N9+ should only be considered where a legitimate biomedical or health-science STEM project clearly fits the foundation’s educational purpose.
