The Quality Science & Mathematics Grant Program (QSM) provides materials and equipment to mathematics and science public school teachers. The QSM program has funds to award approximately $162,000 in grants to eligible classroom teachers for the 2012-2013 school year. Grants for approved materials and equipment are awarded on a competitive basis to individual classroom teachers to use in providing standards-based instruction to help meet state accountability goals.

Teachers who receive grants are awarded $750 to purchase non-consumable instructional equipment and/or materials/educational technology. The technology must be strongly linked to science/math instruction and support student learning. Justification for the purchase of this educational technology must be provided within the proposal. Applications are evaluated on a competitive basis by a Review Panel composed of representatives from the Louisiana Association of Teachers of Mathematics (LATM) and the Louisiana Science Teachers Association (LSTA).
