Welcome to the Global E-STEM Awards Application!
About the Global E-STEM Awards
E-STEM is a great way for young people to build the problem-solving skills needed to address today’s environmental challenges. The Global E-STEM Awards program will provide funding of up to $15,000 USD for Innovation Grants and $50,000 USD for Excellence Prizes to nonprofit organizations and their partners for E-STEM programs that engage students ages 11–22. This opportunity seeks proposals for programs that engage students in meaningful learning experiences that increase STEM skills (science, technology, engineering, and math) through solving problems in their environment. The overall goal of this program is to increase students’ environmental literacy (see box), build STEM interest and skills, and create pathways to careers that support building and conserving resilient communities.
Applications will only be accepted in English and from eligible nonprofit organizations.
Refer to the Request for Proposals for more detailed information about the Pratt & Whitney Global E-STEM Innovation Grants, including eligibility, timeline, benefits, selection criteria, and grantee requirements.
Submissions are due by 11:59 PM U.S. Eastern Time on Wednesday, July 2, 2024 (convert to your time zone).
