The Pets in the Classroom grant program applications for the 2024-25 school year are CLOSED.
We will reopen applications for the 2025-26 school year on July 1, 2025.
We are excited to share our Pets in the Classroom program with you!
Pets in the Classroom was founded to enhance students’ educational and personal development through interaction with pets in their classroom. Our no-hassle grant program supports Pre-K through 9th grade teachers in enhancing students’ educational and personal development through interaction with pets in their classroom. If you meet the qualifications, you will receive a grant. And, not only will we help you purchase your classroom pet and set up its classroom habitat, but we will help you continue caring for it through its lifetime!
How it Works
Each educator is eligible for one initial grant per lifetime, and is then eligible for a $50.00 Sustaining grant each school year thereafter. Our grants follow the teacher and not the school. Initial grant recipients have 5 stores and 2 rebates to choose from. If you choose a store coupon grant, be sure the store is located in your area. Also be sure that the pet is legal to own in your state or municipality. If you don’t see the classroom pet that you want or you would like to shop at your neighborhood pet store, consider our $75.00 or $125.00 rebate grants instead!
