AFA is accepting Educator Grant Applications until November 14, 2009. The online grant site will only be available during the application period.

Each academic year AFA awards grants of up to $250 to viable projects that substantially enhances student academic excellence in math, science and technologies. The association believes that one of the most significant means to motivate student learning is to fund grants to meet the unmet and unfunded educational needs of the students. The Educator Grant program promotes aerospace education initiatives in K-12 classrooms and encourages development of innovative aerospace activities within the prescribed curriculum.

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.

Grant applications must be completed and submitted online - hardcopy or faxed applications will not be considered.
