ExxonMobil and the Foundation for East Baton Rouge School System are excited to launch the next round of the Star STEM Teacher Grant Program. This grant supports innovative, hands-on STEM projects and professional development opportunities led by EBR educators. Grants are intended to fund specific classroom initiatives that engage students in science, technology, engineering, or math, such as experiments, robotics projects, coding activities, engineering challenges, or STEM-focused field experiences. General classroom supplies are not eligible. By empowering teachers with resources to implement impactful ideas, we aim to foster academic excellence and inspire a love of learning across East Baton Rouge public schools.

Applications will open on Tuesday, September 15th, and close on Thursday, October 15th. Winners will be announced in November.

Twenty Grade 4–12 educators will each receive $2,500 to design and implement hands-on, classroom-based STEM projects. Awards are made through a competitive application reviewed for alignment with learning goals, instructional innovation, student impact, and feasibility.
