Educator Grant Program Applications Now Being Accepted

The Air Force Association believes that one of the most significant means to affect student learning is to fund grants to meet the unmet and unfunded educational needs of students. Each school year, the Association awards grants to worthy projects that significantly influence student learning.

The Association will accept grant applications from August 1 – November 15, 2007. 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 at http://www.afa.org/aef/aid/educator.asp. Hardcopy or faxed applications will not be accepted.

Questions regarding the Educator Grant program should be directed to the program manager, Ann Sagle, at ext. 4869 or via e-mail at ASagle@afa.org.
