USA - BASF grants $7,000 to local school district for science education - Funds provide special training for students and educators


Beaumont, Texas, USA
September 16, 2015

BASF awarded $7,000 in science grants to the Beaumont Independent School District (BISD) for educational programs in the areas of science, technology, engineering and math (STEM).

The grant money will provide for advanced science content instruction from university professors and specialists to BISD teachers, who will in turn share the new content with their colleagues throughout the District, strengthening the science content and learning experience for all BISD science students.

In addition to the grant money, the BASF Beaumont plant also donated safety glasses for BISD students to use in the classroom.

“BASF is a valuable community partner and we are extremely grateful for their generous grants to fund science education,” said Patsy McGee, Science Supervisor, Pre-K – 12 for BISD. “Developing strong science programs is a top priority for the District and BASF’s grants allow us to supplement our
curriculum with valuable educational experiences for both our students and teachers, as well as provide additional supplies for science classrooms.”

“BASF places a priority on supporting student engagement in STEM educational programs,” said Debbie Dailey, Site Manager for BASF in Beaumont. “Through these programs, we hope to encourage students to view science as a long-term field of study and possible career path.”

In addition to educational grants, BASF promotes science education for students through its award winning Kid’s Lab and Science Academy programs, which provide hands-on learning experiences to school children in grades K-12.
