Ohio PTA Science Festival Grant


Ohio PTA Science Festival $500 Grant Available!

STEM careers are expected to be one of the fastest growing job  categories in the next decade. However families and students are often unaware of how many different types of jobs exist in the STEM area. There are jobs  at many education levels from postsecondary certificates all the way to doctoral degrees. Building parent and student knowledge of STEM career pathways requires sparking an interest in the STEM fields. A hands on parent-student event such as a Science Festival demonstrates that  STEM activities are easy, fun and can be done at home.

One $500 grant will be awarded in October 2018 to a PTA serving a  school with students in at least ONE grade in grades 2-5.
