GSTA has changed the timeline for our District Mini-Grants. You can now apply this spring to receive your funds in July!  We will be awarding two mini grants per GSTA district.  Mini-Grant applications are due by June 3, 2022.

District mini-grants are designed to fund creative class projects. GSTA provides $300.00 per project award. Teachers who need funding for special classroom projects are encouraged to apply for mini-grants. Recipients of these district mini-grants are asked to complete the project during the 2022-2023 school year and submit a brief article for submission to communications@georgiascienceteacher.org for the eObservations/social media by January 31, 2023.
