Who Can Apply for a STEM Grant? 
Public and private schools, educational programs and nonprofit organizations with STEM-focused programming are welcome to apply – particularly those serving K–12 students. This year, we are especially interested in projects that help students connect STEM learning to real-world careers, including those tied to local industries like shipbuilding.

 

Know a teacher, principal or education leader with a standout idea or project? Encourage them to apply and continue to inspire our future innovators!
