STEM Application
Application for the AFCEA North Carolina Chapter's $1000 Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM)
The AFCEA-North Carolina Chapter is pleased to announce our STEM Grant Program for 2020. AFCEA is a non-profit organization consisting of over 33,000 members worldwide and dedicated to supporting and promoting professional networking and development within the military technology community. In addition, we have a passion for promoting the development of our country’s future science and technology leaders. The purpose of our STEM Grant Program is to enable teachers to purchase lab supplies, hardware, software, projectors, other equipment, sponsor robotics teams, etc. The goal is to enable teachers to implement a new project or capability to more effectively encourage the development of students in the science and technology disciplines. Last year, our chapter awarded 9 $1,000 grants to schools in the local Fayetteville area and 2 $1,000 grants through AFCEA International’s Gravely Grant program. Now is the time to apply.
