BP is one of the world's largest energy companies, providing approximately 13 million customers in more than 100 countries with fuel for transportation, and energy for heat and light. Nearly 100,000 BP employees combine their energy and innovation to build the BP family of brands, which includes Amoco, ARCO, BP and Castrol.
BP's A+ for Energy Program was developed to recognize North American teachers for innovation and excellence in teaching energy and/or energy conservation in the classroom. PreK-12 teachers at public or private schools in nine eligible locations are encouraged to apply. In the history of the program, BP has awarded nearly $16 million in grants and scholarships to teachers for innovative classroom, after-school, extra-curricular, or summer activities focused on energy and/or energy conservation. Grants of $5,000 or $10,000 are awarded directly to teachers, based on the budget submitted with the application In addition, grant winners receive energy education curriculum units designed and developed by the National Energy Education Development (NEED) Project. Teachers receive over $1,500 of resources -- including hands-on classroom energy transformation kits, tools to teach energy in any discipline, and sponsorship to attend Energy Educators Training Conferences facilitated by NEED.
