How eCYBERMISSION Mini-Grants Benefit You, Your Classroom, and Your School!

It is an unfortunate truth that teachers often spend their personal funds to purchase items for their classroom. Whether it’s decorations, school supplies, or prize incentives, teachers give not only their time, but their money as well, to help ensure their students thrive. Here at eCYBERMISSION, we want to help you bring the highest quality STEM curriculum to your classroom at no cost to you, so you can focus on what you do best: teaching. That’s why we created the eCYBERMISSION Mini-Grant Program.

The eCYBERMISSION Mini-Grant Program provides funding to support both teachers and their schools as they implement eCYBERMISSION in their classroom. Here’s how it works:

1. Teachers apply for the grant based on an estimate of the number of students they’ll bring to participate in the coming school year.
2. If accepted, schools receive a first payment to cover supplies for eCYBERMISSION projects. The first payment total is based on the number of students that complete eCYBERMISSION registration and are on a complete team. 
3. Students conduct their eCYBERMISSION projects and submit their Mission Folders.
4. Teachers complete two brief project summary reports and an evaluation survey.
5. After project submission, teachers receive a payment in the form of a professional stipend for acting as Team Advisor for their students. This payment is based on the number of students that submit Mission Folders. 

All you need to do is implement eCYBERMISSION into your classroom or school and you’ll receive funds to help cover the costs and ensure your students thrive! Easy, right? Plus, the application process is a breeze. Simply fill out the 3-step application, which takes less than ten minutes, and click submit. Not sure about committing to eCYBERMISSION? No problem! You do not need to commit to participating as a Team Advisor or know exact student participation numbers to apply. Funds will not be dispensed until your students complete registration and are on complete teams, so if you decide that eCYBERMISSION isn’t right for your classroom this year, just let us know and we’ll rescind your grant acceptance. 

eCYBERMISSION Mini-Grants exist to help you bring the highest quality STEM curriculum to your students without undue financial stress. It’s open to everyone, so you don’t need to worry about qualifying. While Title 1 schools and those working with underserved students are given special consideration, the eCYBERMISSION Mini-Grant is open to everyone. What do you have to lose?
