STEM Education Grants

Federal Grants & State Grants

Out-of-School Time Career Pathway Program

This program provides STEM classroom grants for teachers for before- and after-school programs. Funds may be used for expanding learning activities or any area of enrichment and include technology, such as robotic kits, engineering kits, science kits, STEM Education kits, and telecommunication education.

Title IV, Part A

The Title IV-A program is intended to improve students’ academic achievement by increasing the capacity of states, local education agencies (LEAs), schools, and local communities to (1) provide all students with access to a well-rounded education, (2) improve school conditions for student learning, and (3) improve the use of technology in order to improve the academic achievement and digital literacy of all students.

NV Office of Science, Innovation, and Technology (OSIT)

The Office of Science, Innovation and Technology is charged with administering such grants as are provided by legislative appropriation. OSIT also applies for STEM and broadband-related grants from the federal government and from private foundations that are compatible with the Office's mission.
