The Energy Partners Fund is asking teachers, schools, and nonprofits with ideas for engaging students in science, technology, engineering, and math to apply for its fifth annual STEM grant program.
Previous grant awards have included support for robotics teams, classroom lab supplies, iPads, math super bowls, and science field trips in Santa Barbara, San Luis Obispo, and Ventura counties. According to a press release from the Energy Partners Fund, it has invested $650,000 over the last five years in STEM programs benefiting more than 50,000 public and private school students from kindergarten through high school.
The fund also offers a series of hands-on workshops that it can bring into the classroom. The programs are offered at no charge, and reservations are required. Information can be found on the fund’s website.
Grant applications are due by Sept. 15 at energypartnersfund.org.
