The competitive North Carolina Science Museums Grant Program is one of the many ways that the State of North Carolina invests in sustaining and advancing one of the most diverse and widespread networks of science museums in the country. These museums are critical resources for schools and communities in providing learning experiences in and out of the classroom that enhance science literacy.
The North Carolina Science Museums Grant program is currently funded at more than $2,400,000 annually. Applications are accepted on a two-year cycle that coincides with the state’s biennium budget. While the application cycle is biennial, grants of up to $75,000 are awarded annually.
The application period for 2021 will be reopened from Monday, June 21, 2021 – midnight Sunday, June 27, 2021! The next application cycle will be in 2023. Institutions that did not meet the May 31, 2021 deadline are invited to submit their application during this second application period.
All parties will be given the opportunity to submit a full application form, which includes questions to establish grant eligibility.
All applications will be due no later than midnight on June 27, 2021, to be submitted through the grant website.
