APS and Phoenix Suns team up to provide STEM Teacher Grants
Arizona Public Service (APS) is teaming up with the Phoenix Suns for the 17th year to offer STEM Teacher Grants. K-12 public and charter school teachers within APS service territory can apply for up to $2,500 for science, technology, engineering and mathematics projects or plans to help spark interest in STEM. The application deadline for the grants is Oct. 31, 2022.
Funds may be used to purchase equipment, classroom supplies and/or fund curriculum-based field trips, guest speakers or other items that would otherwise not be supported by the school or school district. Past projects include solar-powered race cars, weather balloon launches and raised bed organic gardening.
