Toshiba America Foundation K–12 STEM Classroom Grants

FundingGrades K–5: up to $1,000 per classroom project. Grades 6–12: recurring grants of $5,000 or less and a separate application cycle for requests over $5,000; Toshiba America Foundation does not state a universal maximum for the over-$5,000 category on its current public grant pages.

DeadlineK–5: October 1, 2026. Grades 6–12, $5,000 or less: September 1, 2026 and December 1, 2026 are the next stated 2026 quarterly deadlines. Grades 6–12, over $5,000: November 1, 2026 is the next stated deadline. Exact closing times are not stated by Toshiba America Foundation.

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/materials needed, and prepare the teacher-led application for the applicable cycle. Because Toshiba does not state an exact closing time for the September 1 grades 6–12 cycle, Atlas should not initiate new applicant outreach for that cycle inside the 48-hour safety window; later October, November and December cycles remain available for qualified school prospects.

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.
