STEM Grants
Supporting STEM initiatives beyond school walls
Fuel the next generation of innovators
We at Views on Learning (VOL) know that there are fantastic science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) opportunities for K-12 students beyond the classroom walls, from world-class robotics competitions to immersive summer STEM academies. We want to support these valuable experiences by offering funding assistance for worthwhile STEM activities happening outside the traditional school schedule.
We encourage students within a 35-mile radius of our service areas to apply for STEM Activity Grants.
