Grant Award for Developing Programs in Science and Engineering Education
APPLICATION LINK
This award is open to all high schools in the WRSEF-Region II (or homeschooled students residing in Region 2) who intend to use the funds to establish a new STEM program or continue developing an existing one. Any school in Region II can apply for the reimbursement of purchased materials. Though the primary focus of this award is to increase the opportunity to purchase needed supplies required to conduct an experiment or further engineering education, the program may apply for funding for equipment and other materials upon approval. Preference is given to applications from schools that can provide evidence that Science Fair funding is not available.
