Funds Available for K-12 Outdoor Classrooms
Lowe's Charitable and Educational Foundation, International Paper and National Geographic Explorer! classroom magazine have partnered to create an outdoor classroom grant program open to all K-12 public schools in the U.S. The grant is designed to provide resources to improve schools' science curriculums by engaging students in hands-on experiences outside the traditional classroom.
This school year, the program will award grants up to $2,000 to at least 100 schools. In some cases, grants for up to $20,000 may be awarded to schools or school districts with major outdoor classroom projects. The grants can be used to build a new outdoor classroom or to enhance a current one. Application materials are at www.lowes.com.community.
