10 Education Grants Celebrating Back to School

August is National Back to School Month! To celebrate, GrantWatch is shining the spotlight on 10 education grants. The beginning of the school year brings excitement for students, parents, and teachers, but the expenses can be overwhelming. With learning back in the classroom, many families struggle to afford school supplies. Teachers often spend their own money on classroom essentials, and schools need funding to improve resources.

The quality of education shouldn’t suffer due to a lack of funding. We hope your school or home can benefit from the latest grants we’ve found! These grants provide resources for children, including school supplies, technology, internet access, and funding for education programs.
