Student-Serving Projects Grants

Oklahoma Humanities is offering a grant opportunity specifically designed to support projects that serve K-12 Oklahoma public school students. This grant provides outright funding of up to $10,000 for eligible projects that enhance humanities-based educational experiences for students. The grant supports initiatives such as in-person learning events, field trips, virtual learning programs, and hybrid educational experiences that align with humanities education objectives. The purpose of this funding opportunity is to ensure that Oklahoma’s K-12 students have greater access to high-quality humanities-based learning materials and experiences. The funding can be used to develop, implement, or expand educational programs that foster engagement with humanities topics, such as history, literature, philosophy, and cultural studies. By funding both in-person and virtual learning models, the grant provides flexibility to educators and organizations to reach students effectively, regardless of location or circumstances. Eligible applicants for this grant include U.S. nonprofit organizations with 501(c)(3) tax-exempt status, accredited public and 501(c)(3) institutions of higher education, state and local governmental agencies, and federally recognized Native American tribal governments. All applicants must serve K-12 public school students in Oklahoma. Organizations must register and apply through the Oklahoma Humanities online grants portal, where they will find detailed funding guidelines and application instructions. At present, this funding opportunity is temporarily unavailable, meaning applications are not currently being accepted. However, organizations interested in this opportunity are encouraged to monitor Oklahoma Humanities' website for updates on when funding may resume.
