Here's your chance to nominate area schools for America’s Farmers Grow Rural Education STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) grants.
This year, Grow Rural Education will award schools $2.3 million through $10,000 and $25,000 grants, which make a lasting impact. Recently the Idaho School for the Deaf and Blind, a 2017 grant recipient, used the funds to add an Augmented Reality sandbox to its STEM curriculum, which is a high-tech tool allowing students to study issues like water flow and erosion.
Farmers can nominate schools to receive the funding until April 2, 2018, by clicking here or by calling 1-877-267-3332 toll-free. We also want to encourage teachers to connect with farmers and ask them to nominate their school.
