Schools in designated counties are eligible, with a focus on those serving economically disadvantaged students.

Overview

PLTW Engineering - New Program (Phillips 66) Phillips 66 invests in expanding access to quality education, because literacy and workforce preparedness are the foundation of individual achievement and our economic future. To help strengthen the future STEM workforce, we support academic training and educational opportunities that encourage broader participation, especially among students who have historically had fewer opportunities in these fields. Middle school is a time of exploration, a time when students are figuring out what they're passionate about today and how that relates to who they'll become tomorrow. Phillips 66 has partnered with Project Lead The Way to support PLTW Gateway programs in middle schools and Engineering and Computer Science in high schools in Phillips 66 communities. PLTW courses empower students to experience and see a range of STEM pathways and possibilities in high school and beyond. Through this partnership, Phillips 66 is supporting PLTW grants to schools interested in starting and expanding PLTW programs beginning in the 2026-2027 academic year. Grantee must offer at least one PLTW Engineering course in the 2026-2027 academic year and must offer one additional course in the 2027-2028 academic year (two different courses in two years). Grantee may implement any PLTW Engineering courses of their choosing. Grantee must complete two years of grant reporting.
