Are you ready to modernize your science classroom and move beyond animal dissection?
The BioLEAP Classroom Grant program is here to help. Designed for educators who want to inspire their students with engaging, ethical, and forward-thinking science tools, these grants provide up to $1,000 in funding to support the adoption of non-animal teaching methods.
Why Choose Non-Animal Alternatives?
Animal dissection has long been a fixture in science education—but today, we have better options. Humane alternatives don’t just spare animal lives—they often improve student outcomes. They make lessons more interactive, inclusive, and aligned with 21st-century science standards.
With BioLEAP support, you can bring your classroom to life with tools like:
- Virtual dissection platforms
- 3D anatomical models
- Augmented and virtual reality experiences
- Computer simulations and digital learning tools
These alternatives offer repeatable, visually rich, and self-paced learning opportunities that enhance student engagement and comprehension—without the ethical and logistical challenges of using animals.
How the Grant Works
BioLEAP Classroom Grants are open to public, private, and charter school educators across the United States who are committed to replacing dissection or live animal use in their classrooms.
We’re looking for teachers who are:
- Dedicated to providing a humane, high-quality science education
- Ready to move away from outdated or harmful practices
- Interested in integrating modern, tech-forward tools into their curriculum
Selected applicants receive up to $1,000 in funding, plus personalized guidance from the BioLEAP team to identify the resources that best fit your teaching goals and classroom needs.
What You and Your Students Can Expect
BioLEAP-supported classrooms consistently see:
- Higher student engagement
- Stronger understanding and retention of scientific concepts
- Improved ethical reasoning and critical thinking
- A deeper respect for living beings and the natural world
Whether you’re teaching biology, anatomy, environmental science, or general life sciences, humane alternatives can enrich your students’ learning—and support your goals as an educator.
Apply and Transform Your Teaching
The transition to humane science doesn’t have to be difficult—or expensive. With a BioLEAP Classroom Grant, you’ll have the resources and support to make meaningful, lasting change.
