TIGER Grant
Empowering educational excellence with essential technology funding
Transform your classroom with TIGER Grant funding
Views on Learning (VOL) offers the Technology Innovation Grants for Educational Resources (TIGER) Grant as part of our mission to help schools achieve their educational objectives.
The TIGER Grant awards a cumulative total of up to $250,000 per year to select schools within our service areas. Each eligible school may receive up to $25,000, based on enrollment. The TIGER funding is to be used for the procurement of technology and related items for direct academic instruction.
In service areas where available, the awarded school(s) may additionally request a limited number of Zoom® video conferencing licenses and up to 10 mobile hotspots to access cellular-based wireless broadband internet.
The 2024 TIGER Grant application window runs from March through September.
