Over the last 10 years, PLTW with the support from these generous partners, has distributed over $75 million in school grants to more than 6,600 PreK-12 schools. Is your school considering adding a PLTW program or expanding an existing program but need support with initial expenses? You may be eligible for a PLTW school grant!
The significant funds from this federal plan provide a unique opportunity for innovation, equity, and access within your school and district. The highly flexible funds are available to you for a variety of purposes.

Local partnerships are valuable resources to support your plan. They can help with initial funding, but also with program sustainability, local buy-in, implementation, and student opportunities, as you ensure support for your program.
As an advantage for you, we recommend prioritizing PLTW when creating your strategic plan. By doing this, it’s more likely you’ll be able to use multiple funding sources, because you’ll have the ability to plug PLTW into the various plans and documents that drive district/school decision making.
