Announcing the K–12 Education Grant Program: Global Health – Apply by Nov 16

Posted by Pulitzer Center on October 21, 2025

How can engaging learning communities in global health reporting bridge divides, surface solutions, and inspire action that improves health outcomes?

We are excited to announce the launch of our latest grant program for individuals and organizations serving K-12 students and/or educators to increase understanding of global health topics and explore the role the news media plays in the health ecosystem. If you have felt inspired by the work of our Teacher Fellow cohorts as they discovered creative and engaging ways to connect their students with global health stories, this opportunity just might be what you’re looking for.

This program consists of three main components: the initial proposal, a collaborative winter incubator, and project implementation. After proposing educational projects, accepted applicants will refine their project plans in a series of workshops and submit formal grant proposals to secure $1,500 grants to fund project implementation in spring 2026.

Proposed projects should engage Ode to Healthy Futures  OR one or more eligible news stories as a central resource. We welcome applications from people serving K-12 students and teachers in a wide range of contexts, including libraries, museums, community centers, schools, small businesses, and municipal programs. Proposed projects should serve at least 500 K-12 students and/or educators in the U.S. and U.S. territories, and we encourage applicants working with smaller groups to collaborate and apply as a multisite or multiorganizational project.
