Grants are available to provide funding to European Chapters to promote STEM innovation in the classrooms with emphasis on elementary academic programs. Grants of up to $1,000 USD will be awarded. Chapters should identify a need in their community and propose a program to address this need. Programs will be funded on a year-by-year basis, but will be eligible for renewal. Chapters are encouraged to contribute matching funds, and programs with matching funding will have an advantage.  

 Summaries of model programs currently implemented by other chapters are available, and chapters are encouraged to reach out to the Educational Foundation for advice or ideas.
