Help encourage STEM education in local schools by telling the teachers in your life about the 2024-2025 Ingalls STEM grant program. Ingalls will once again give out STEM grant money to local educators in Alabama, Louisiana and Mississippi.
Applications are open now through October 18 for the annual grant program, which aims to boost science, technology, engineering and math education across the region.
Lisa Bradley, manager, Corporate Stewardship & Community Relations Manager, stressed how crucial these grants are for inspiring the next generation of shipbuilders and innovators.
"We want educators to apply and show us their STEM initiatives," said Lisa. "Our aim is to empower teachers and show students the amazing careers STEM can offer."
Over the past three years, Ingalls has invested more than $1.1 million in STEM education, supporting teacher training and impactful initiatives. Last year, 24 grants were awarded from nearly 80 applications.
Interested schools and organizations can apply by visiting The Future Shipbuilder STEM Grant Application or emailing CommunityRelations@hii-ingalls.com. Applications close on October 18 and awards will be announced in January.
"Our commitment to shaping the future of engineering and technology is reflected in our partnerships with local schools and colleges," said Lisa. "Together, we can build a stronger STEM community and future workforce."
