CNTA Educator Grant Program

The Citizens for Nuclear Technology Awareness (CNTA) wants to partner with local area educators to provide innovative instruction to area students. CNTA has expanded its educator grant program to facilitate this educational outreach. Grants in an amount of up to $1,000 will be awarded for winning applications teaching all subjects and grades pre-K-12. The grants can be used to fund a project in any area of science, technology, engineering, or mathematics with preference given to those that promote an increased understanding of atomic and nuclear fundamentals, radiation and nuclear materials safety, and applications of nuclear technology. Projects are expected to include some aspects of research design, the scientific method broadly, or an introduction to scientific inquiry to be considered. Eligibility: Pre K-12 teachers in South Carolina counties of Aiken, Allendale, Bamberg, Barnwell, Edgefield, and Orangeburg; and in the Georgia counties of Columbia, Richmond, and Burke are invited to submit proposals. Teachers who are members of CNTA are also eligible to apply regardless of school location. More details on the application packet, flyer and information on the 2026 Educator Grant Program will be available the week of October 20, 2025 on https://cntaware.org/educator-grants-program/
