A partnership with Arizona teachers to "inspire the next generation of explorers...as only NASA can"
-Sean O’Keefe, NASA Administrator

Arizona school budgets are tight—too tight to fund “extras”. But “extras” that compliment classroom teaching and boost learning are invaluable. Enter Mini-Grants...

Modeled after an impressive program in Washington state, the Arizona Space Grant Consortium / UA Cooperative Extension Mini-Grant program offers grants up to $400 for innovative science, mathematics and technology-related projects, or professional development experiences for educators. Public, private, certified home-school teachers and 4-H / Extension professionals and other informal education programs may apply. Grants must be matched dollar-to-dollar with non-federal funds; projects must be aligned with the Arizona State Standards. Be creative! Together we can inspire the next generation of explorers!

It's easy to turn that great idea into a Mini-Grant!
