Each school year, the Association awards grants of up to $250 to worthy projects that significantly influence student learning. The Association will accept grant applications beginning August 1, 2011.

**The grant deadline has been extended to 4pm (Pacific Time) on Wednesday, November 9, 2011.

The grant process is competitive in nature. A committee comprised of outside experts in the field of aerospace education will review all qualified grant applications and make recommendations on funding. Based upon the funding available, the Association will choose to invest in projects that best serve our nation’s students and support the mission of the Air Force Association.

The Educator Grant program promotes aerospace education activities in classrooms from kindergarten through twelfth grades. The program encourages development of innovative aerospace activities within the prescribed curriculum.
