"During these challenging economic times, we are pleased to support these excellent programs," said Patricia Salas Pineda, group vice president of Toyota Motor North America.

"These grants are an investment in the future of our teachers and young people and will give them invaluable skills for the future."

The Toyota USA Foundation supports quality K-12 programs that improve the teaching and learning of mathematics, science, and environmental education. The foundation places a high priority on:

* Diverse programs that are broad in scope, incorporate inter-disciplinary learning, and use "real-world" classroom applications; and
