Supports high school science teachers in obtaining laboratory equipment—especially for spectroscopy—to enhance hands-on science education and student understanding in chemistry, physics, biology, and general science.
Funder: Society for Analytical Chemists of Pittsburgh
Due Dates: November 1, 2026
Funding Amounts: Up to $2,000 per school; equipment purchased and shipped directly to the school.
Summary: Supports the purchase of science equipment—especially for spectroscopy—for high school classrooms in the SACP/SSP region.
Key Information: Schools may only receive one award every two years.
This program provides funding to high school science teachers to acquire laboratory equipment, with a special emphasis on spectroscopy and related fields (light, color interference, diffraction, line spectra, spectrophotometry). The goal is to enhance science education by enabling teachers to conduct hands-on experiments and demonstrations that deepen student understanding in chemistry, physics, biology, and general science.
