The Education Opportunity Fund provides catalytic support for sustainable impact in the following areas:

  • Expanding STEM Program Access: Expanding access to STEM education by funding technology and programs that help remove barriers for students in grades K-12 in the United States and international equivalent.
  • Supporting STEM Skill Development & Student Preparedness: Funding initiatives that help students build strong STEM skills—such as problem solving, critical thinking, and foundational math and science competencies—to support success in the classroom and beyond.
  • Strengthening STEM Educators & Systems: Investing in efforts that enhance STEM teaching and learning, including curriculum improvements, educator training, and partnership that connect schools with industry and future STEM career opportunities.

Applicants may include funding for administrative costs (“overhead”) associated with programs or projects to the extent that the costs are necessary to successfully implement the proposed project or services.
