10 of the Best K-12 Grants You Should Be Applying For!

Education is crucial to society’s development. Not only is education the greatest of equalizers, but it also leads to new inventions, new leadership, and new ideas. When discussing education, it makes sense to start at the beginning and take a look at K-12 education. Unless a child attends preschool or a head start program, these years are the first experiences many children have on their educational journey.

For this reason, it is important to ensure that all children have access to quality, public education in grades K-12. This means providing a comprehensive STEM curriculum, as well as well-rounded arts programming. Grants are a good way to get the funding necessary to improve K-12 education, whether for schools, programming, or teachers.

GrantWatch.com has an entire category dedicated to education grants, with categories specifically for preschools, elementary education, secondary education, and higher education.
