AIAA CLASSROOM GRANTS

Are you a K-12 teacher who develops or applies science, mathematics, and technology in your curriculum? If the answer is YES! you may qualify for a grant of up to $200 per individual request to supplement your learning program. Each school is limited to up to $1,000 per calendar year.

Use your grant for classroom demonstration kits and science supplies, math and science software, supplies for making flying objects (what kid can resist the chance to build and launch a rocket?), supplies for robotic programs, and other materials to help you make science, mathematics, and technology come alive in your classroom.
