FirstEnergy Accepting STEM Grant Applications From Educators
FirstEnergy Corp., an energy company serving Ohio, Pennsylvania, West Virginia, New Jersey, Maryland, and Virginia, is offering education grants of up to $500 for creative classroom projects planned for the 2012-13 school year.
FirstEnergy Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics Classroom Grants are awarded for creative, individual classroom projects for grades pre-K-12. The grants are available to educators and youth group leaders located in communities served by FirstEnergy's ten electric operating companies, or in communities where the company has generating plants or does business.
Any creative projects in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics will be considered.
Grants may be used to compensate experts who come to work with students, but not to pay teachers or staff. Resources requested should be integral components of a well-planned classroom project/lesson plan, and important to its success.
Complete program guidelines, information on eligible geographic areas, and the application form are available on FirstEnergy's Web site.
