PLTW Launch - New Program (Chevron Louisiana) Grant

The PLTW Launch grant, supported by Chevron, aims to enhance educational opportunities in Louisiana by funding Project Lead The Way (PLTW) programs. With a total award of $12,500, schools are required to implement at least two different PLTW Launch modules over two years. This initiative is part of Chevron's commitment to social investment, having previously contributed over $17 million to PLTW, impacting nearly 250,000 students nationwide.

The commitment is part of a long-term social investment program in the Gulf of Mexico region.
Since 2009, Chevron has committed over $17 million to PLTW nationally, providing transformative educational experiences for K-12 students and teachers in California, Hawaii, Louisiana, Mississippi, New Mexico, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Texas, Washington, D.C., and West Virginia. As a result, almost 250,000 students and over 8,100 teachers have had access to PLTW programs and teacher professional development. In 2013, Chevron became PLTW's first National Partner a designation signaling the highest level of support and commitment.
