Toyota Dishes Out Dough
Torrance-based Toyota Motor Sales USA recognized 78 science teachers nationwide during a weekend conference by doling out $550,000 in total grants through the Toyota TAPESTRY: Grants for
Science Teachers program.
The awards were given at the National Science Teachers Association National
Conference on Science Education in Boston.
Of the $550,000 granted, 50 teachers received up to $10,000 each and 28 received grants of up to $2,500 each. More than $8 million has been awarded to 986 teams of teachers in the program’s 18-year history.
Sadly, none of this year's winning teachers were from the South Bay.
