The Kansas Corn Commission supports teachers dedicated to teaching about our industry. Teachers eligible to apply for mini grants are those who have attended a Seed to STEM workshop and ag teachers who have received clean smoke lab training.

Before you request

• Our normal mini grant timeline is in October.  You can still submit a mini grant request however it may take longer for your request to be reviewed and processed.
• Elementary teachers needing supplies can request them via our request materials page at any time. You receive materials without the need to attend a training.
• Mini grant awards average around $250 worth of supplies.
• The purpose of these grants is to restock consumable items needed to conduct our labs or to request equipment that you still need for a lab.
• Teachers are only eligible for one mini grant per year.
• Please be as detailed as possible regarding the materials you are requesting, quantity and how you plan to use them.
• Seed to STEM graduates wanting distillation kits can request via the request materials form.
