STEM Education grant FAQ
Who funds stem education programs?
STEM Education programs are funded by the same education ecosystem as the rest of the field: the U.S. Department of Education and other federal agencies, the state education agencies that administer and sub-grant federal formula funds, and private and community foundations. Some funders run dedicated lines; many fund this work through broader education and student-support programs.
What can stem education grants pay for?
Funding for science, technology, engineering, and math education — for schools, districts, out-of-school programs, and education nonprofits building STEM curricula, labs, and student programs. Typical eligible costs include staff and instructor time, curriculum and materials, professional development, technology and equipment, and program operations for schools, districts, and education nonprofits.
How do I find stem education grants I'm eligible for?
Eligibility depends on your organization type, your location, and the funder's priorities. Browse the open opportunities below, or run your organization's profile through FindGrants to see the stem education and education grants you qualify for right now, ranked by fit.
