Session details:

Education Stabilization Funding from three rounds of stimulus — most recently the new American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 — has dramatically increased the resources available for schools to respond to the COVID-19 crisis. But this historic funding has also presented schools across the country with an opportunity to transform their educational service delivery models and advance in-school and after-school STEM projects that had been progressing slowly or not at all.

Grants Office Senior Grants Development Consultant Elizabeth Evans reviewed STEM-friendly stimulus funding for K–12 and after-school programs. She covered how this new influx of funding can be leveraged for STEM initiatives, how to position a request for funding to any source, as well as highlighted schools that are leading the way.
