Overview

NOTE: This is a rolling grant opportunity. Awards will be made twice monthly. PLTW Launch Project Lead The Way is making grants available to schools across the US that are interested in implementing the PLTW Launch program for the first time for the next school year. All schools are encouraged to apply including: private schools, charter schools, rural schools, public and private schools that serve 40% or more students who are eligible for free and reduced lunch, public and private schools that serve a minority majority student population, as well as districts/schools seeking to begin PLTW or existing PLTW districts seeking to offer a complete PLTW program pathway. PLTW Program Status New Program Award Information This grant will directly cover the following costs associated with the implementation of PLTW Launch: PLTW Launch participation fees; and Online PLTW Launch Core Training registration fees. The number of training seats awarded will be informed by the implementation plan outlined in the school's PLTW grant application. The maximum number of training seats awarded per school is twenty-four (24) training seats. Teachers at awarded schools have until deadline to register for PLTW Launch Core Training using their grant awarded training seats. Please note, there is no cash value for this grant.
