Dominion Accepting Applications for K-12 Energy/Environment-Related Math and Science Programs

Posted by on March 04, 2013

The Dominion K-12 Education Partnership, a charitable initiative of energy company Dominion, is accepting applications from elementary and secondary schools and nonprofit organizations for new programs designed to strengthen math and science education through the study of energy or the environment.

The program awards grants of up to $10,000 in support of innovative and promising ideas that teach math and/or science skills, reach a significant number of students, and demonstrate broad-based community support. To be considered, projects must develop math and/or science skills through the study of the environment or be designed to increase students’ awareness of energy efficiency and conservation, energy sources, or other energy-related topics.

Public and private elementary and secondary schools and public school divisions that are registered with the National Center for Educational Statistics, institutions of higher education, and nonprofit organizations with tax-exempt status under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code are invited to apply. Grants are limited to applicants from Connecticut, Maryland, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Virginia, and West Virginia.
