The Bone Room Natural History for Everyone Grant for Everyone Grant provides a $2,000 annual grant to support educators teaching natural history at all academic levels and across all natural science disciplines.
Natural history education encourages students to explore the world through observation, discovery and hands-on learning. Whether in the classroom, museum, laboratory, or field, these experiences help students better understand Earth, life, and the processes that have shaped our planet. Experiencing natural history firsthand can inspire curiosity, critical thinking, and a lifelong appreciation for science.
The Association of Applied Paleontological Sciences is proud to partner with The Bone Room in support of its mission of expanding scientific knowledge and public awareness by supporting educators who provide meaningful natural history learning opportunities. Grant funds may be used to support natural history education including field trips, conference attendance, museum or research institution visits, outreach programs, educational workshops, classroom resources, and other educational activities that enhance natural history learning.
This grant is available to public, private, and charter school educators, college and university instructors, museum educators, homeschool educators, and other informal science educators. Applicants teaching any natural science discipline are encouraged to apply.
