ORAU education grant applications open

ORAU is accepting applications for its education grants program for 2024, offering $30,000 in grant funding for teachers in five East Tennessee counties.

Educators in Anderson, Campbell, Morgan, Roane and Scott county public schools are invited to submit proposals to fund programs in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM).

“School systems are often under-resourced when it comes to effectively teaching STEM topics in their schools,” said Pam Bonee, director of communications and marketing at ORAU.

“Our education grants program gives teachers the opportunity to get some of the resources they need to give their students a leg up in STEM.”

Funds are available for projects to be carried out during the 2024-25 school year. All proposals are due by 5 p.m. on Friday, April 19.

Questions should be directed to Michael Holtz, who can be reached at 865-466.0701 or michael.holtz@orau.org.
