Special Projects

Welcome to our Special Projects Grant Assistance Program!

At the Science Resource Center, we understand that special projects often require unique materials that may not be readily available through our standard resource catalog. To support your creative endeavors and ensure you have access to the resources needed for your projects, we highly recommend exploring external grants.

One popular avenue that many Dallas ISD employees have successfully utilized is the Junior League of Dallas Grant for Innovative Teaching – All Dallas ISD educators are eligible to apply for funding up to $2,500 for innovative teaching projects for all grade levels and subjects. Educators can use this grant to purchase anything they need for their pet (as long as the vendor is an awarded vendor through the district).

The TEXAS STEAM Grant presented by Thomas J. Henry. This grant focuses on S.T.E.A.M., innovation, development of programs and updating equipment. This grant is available to public, private or charter schools and all grade levels.

The State Fair of Texas Grant supports the following: Economic Development, Capacity Building for Nonprofits, Educational Programming, and Social and Racial Justice. The grant supports initiatives in the aforementioned areas in 75210, 75215, 75223, and 75228 with some limited support for work in the southern sector of Dallas that impacts residents in the South Dallas/Fair Park neighborhood. Organizations within a ten mile radius of the Fair can apply but know that their priority is the South Dallas/Fair Park community and organizations that offer services in this area. Grant funding ranges from $5,000 to $10,000.

At the Science Resource Center, we're here to support your innovative initiatives. Explore grant opportunities and enhance your classroom experience with resources you special projects deserve. Best of Luck!
