About Higher Education Grants for Public K-12 School

Public K-12 schools can access funding for STEM curriculum development, teacher professional development programs, and educational research initiatives that strengthen classroom instruction and student outcomes. The 7,381 active grants in this category are led by agencies including the National Institutes of Health, National Science Foundation, and National Endowment for the Humanities, reflecting broad support for science, humanities, and capacity-building projects within school districts.
