Unlocking STEM Opportunities with Grants!

At MSAN, we are dedicated to helping afterschool programs foster innovation and growth in STEM. Two excellent funding opportunities are currently available for educators and students.

The FIRST Tech Challenge New Team Hardship Grant provides financial support for new teams competing in the 2024-2025 season. Teams receive up to $750 to help cover registration and product costs, ensuring that financial barriers don’t limit participation.

The NSF’s Advancing Informal STEM Learning (AISL) program supports projects aimed at increasing STEM learning in informal settings, from museums to community programs. This opportunity is ideal for educators looking to broaden their reach and bring innovative, hands-on STEM experiences to diverse learners.

These grants open doors for students to explore the exciting world of STEM and build skills for their future careers. Don’t miss out on this chance to enrich your programs and inspire young minds!
