Education Grants
Applications are now closed. Awards will be announced by May 5, 2025.
East Tennessee Educators, how can ORAU help meet the needs of your classroom? Through ORAU Education Grants, that’s how.
Educators in five East Tennessee counties—Anderson, Campbell, Morgan, Roane and Scott—are invited annually to submit proposals to fund STEM programs. The annual opportunity to apply comes when ORAU will offer a total of $30,000 in grants to support the program for projects to be carried out during the designated school year.
Projects are funded based on quality, educational enrichment, creativity, and available funds. Funding decisions are made by a committee that includes former classroom educators. Awards will be announced before the end of the school year and recipients will be notified by email. Questions should be directed to Amber Davis, who can be reached at (865) 340-2239 or amber.davis@orau.org.
ORAU provides Education Grants because we are committed to strengthening K-12 science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) education. We also sponsor the annual Extreme Classroom Makeover competition, K-12 summer programs for students, and STEM educator professional development programs.
