Teachers! What could you do with a $5,000 or a $10,000 grant for your classroom?

The A+ for Energy program was developed by BP to recognize teachers for innovation and excellence in teaching energy and/or energy conservation in the classroom. PreK-12 teachers in an eligible U.S. location, who are currently teaching in a public or private, accredited or licensed school are encouraged to apply. BP will award up to $4 million in grants and scholarships to fund innovative classroom, after-school, extra-curricular, or summer projects focused on energy and/or energy conservation aligned with the application criteria. Grants of $5,000 or $10,000 will be awarded directly to teachers, reflecting the budget request submitted with their application.

ALL ELIGIBLE TEACHERS can apply online at the A+ for Energy website. Applications for the 2009 program will be accepted now through March 9, 2009. Click here for more information.
