At TVA, we understand preparing the workforce of tomorrow begins today. The TVA STEM Classroom Grant Program, sponsored by the Tennessee Valley Authority in partnership with Bicentennial Volunteers Incorporated (BVI, a TVA retiree organization), is designed to fund STEM learning projects in classrooms and schools in the TVA service area.
The details:
The applications process for STEM Classroom Grants opens August 1, 2024, and close September 15, 2024.
Apply at TVA.com/STEM 
Eligible applicants are teachers or school administrators in public or private schools, grades K-12. Schools must be in the TVA service area and receive electricity from a local power distributor served by TVA.
Eligible parties may apply for funding up to $5,000 for STEM Projects with preference given to applications that explore TVA’s primary areas of focus: environment, energy, economic and career development,
and community problem-solving.
This year’s application timeline allows for teachers to apply before students return and enable funding to be distributed before January 2025. This year, we will award $1.5 million to schools across the Tennessee Valley region to fund STEM learning projects.
