PLTW Engineering -New Program or Program Expansion (Lockheed Martin) Grant

Lockheed Martin is funding PLTW grants to schools for adding or expanding PLTW Engineering programs. This initiative aims to meet the growing need for engineers and technology professionals by providing students with essential skills in engineering and computer science. Schools can apply for funding to either start new programs or enhance existing ones, promoting innovation in education.

Lockheed Martin has committed funds to support PLTW grants to schools interested in adding PLTW Engineering.
Since 2007, Lockheed Martin has partnered with PLTW to address the nation's critical need for future engineers, computer scientists, and math- and science-trained professionals, and to equip all students with the knowledge and skills they need to thrive. Lockheed Martin supports PLTW programs in school districts across the nation and has contributed to the development of PLTW's middle school and high school courses focused on aerospace engineering and flight. Since the first school district partnership in 2014, over 300 PLTW programs have been implemented and more than 77,000 students have gained access to PLTW.
