Big Spring teachers can apply for Bulldog Foundation grants that fund classroom projects the district budget does not cover.

In July 2026 the board approved $8,400 in classroom grants for the 2026-2027 school year, funding projects in all five district schools.

Grants align to the district’s three goals for students: engagement, well-being, and academic growth. Grants are awarded up to $300 each. Recent grants have paid for classroom and library books, STEAM kits, 3D printer filament, cooking lab supplies, OSHA-10 safety certifications, water-quality testing gear, kindergarten learning centers, and hands-on history programs in all five district schools.

How to apply

Teachers apply through the Big Spring School District each spring, not through this website. The district’s Director of Curriculum and Instruction notifies all staff when applications open and reviews each request with the building principals. The district then sends the recommended requests to our board.

The board votes in early summer, and recipients hear before the school year begins. Questions about the program: Mary Beth Weaver, teacher grants chair, at info@bigspringbulldogfoundation.com.
