About this grant
The General Atomics Sciences Education Foundation funds K-12 STEM programs operated by non-profits that serve multiple school districts or countywide populations, with preference for programs serving underserved students or providing STEM-based vocational training. The foundation does not typically fund individual schools or districts unless the opportunity is unique and compelling. Applicants must submit proposals not exceeding 3 pages detailing the organization, funding amount requested, program description, expected student impact, and anticipated outcomes. The foundation reviews proposals in three cycles: proposals received January-April are reviewed in May with awards in June; May-August proposals reviewed in September with awards in October; September-December proposals reviewed in January with awards in February. Organizations must be confirmed non-profits with an EIN and must demonstrate county-wide or multi-district reach.
