Since the beginning of October, the CenturyLink Clarke M. Williams Foundation has invited local pre-kindergarden through 12th grade teachers to apply for a Teachers and Technology program.

The program offers grants up to $5,000 to fund STEM projects in classrooms including subjects like science, technology, engineering and math. The grant program started in 2008 and has since awarded more than $8 million dollars in grants to teachers. It has provided students with the opportunity to use recent technology tools in their education and supports student achievement.

The CenturyLink Clarke M. Williams Foundation is an organization dedicated to improving local communities. In the 2017-2018 school year, nearly 2,000 grant applications were submitted and more than 300 grants were awarded based on the project's overall innovation and anticipated impact the project would have in the classroom.

Applications for the Teachers and Technology grant will be accepted now through Jan. 12, 2019. The review process will be completed and grants will be presented from April 1 to May 15. To apply for a grant, click here.
