About stem education grants

STEM education grants support science, technology, engineering, and math programs in schools and community organizations, funding curriculum, equipment, teacher training, and out-of-school programs. The largest public funders are the National Science Foundation (NSF) and the U.S. Department of Education, with additional STEM funding from the Department of Defense. Corporate and foundation funders such as the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, Toshiba America Foundation, and major technology companies also invest heavily in STEM.

A long list is the starting point, not the shortlist. Our grant prospecting guide shows how to narrow stem education grants down to the funders most likely to say yes, using their giving records.

Frequently Asked Questions

Of the 1,735 stem education grants Grantable lists as of October 26, 2026, 982 publish an award amount. The median listed award is $8,350, and the middle half fall between $3,000 and $24K. The largest is $10M. Amounts are each grant's stated maximum, so a typical award can be smaller.

By number of active listings, the leading funders are Project Lead The Way Inc (97), Montana State University (65), Project Lead the Way inc. (48), American Chemical Society (19), and U.S. National Science Foundation (19). In all, 894 funders have at least one active grant in this category.

When are stem education grants due?

Of 1,735 grants listed, 23 accept applications on a rolling basis, 122 have a published upcoming deadline, 436 run on a stated cycle (such as annual or quarterly) without a published date, and 1,154 don't publish a deadline, so check the funder's site. Among dated deadlines, 47% fall in January–March.

What STEM education grants are available?

Grants fund STEM curriculum, lab and classroom equipment, robotics and coding programs, teacher professional development, and out-of-school STEM programs. The NSF funds K-12 STEM education through dedicated programs, often in partnership with universities, while corporate and foundation grants support school- and community-level projects. Award sizes range from small classroom grants to large multi-year program awards.

Who funds STEM education programs?

Public funders include the National Science Foundation and the U.S. Department of Education, plus the Department of Defense for some programs. Private and corporate funders include the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation, the Toshiba America Foundation, and technology companies such as those running corporate STEM giving programs. Community foundations also support local STEM initiatives.

Can individual teachers apply, or only schools?

Both. Many federal and foundation STEM grants are awarded to schools, districts, universities, or nonprofits, but a number of corporate and foundation programs, such as the Toshiba America Foundation, accept applications directly from individual teachers or small teams for classroom projects. Review each opportunity to see whether teachers, schools, or organizations are the intended applicants.
