10 of the Best K-12 Grants You Should Apply for!

Education is crucial to our society’s development. Not only is education the greatest of equalizers, but it also leads to new inventions, new leadership, and new ideas! When discussing education, it makes sense to start at the beginning and take a look at K-12 education. Unless a child attends preschool or a head start program, these years are the first experiences many children have on their educational journey.

For this reason, it is important to ensure that all children have access to quality, public education in grades K-12. This means providing a comprehensive STEM curriculum, as well as well-rounded arts programming. Grants are a good way to get the funding necessary to improve K-12 education, whether for schools, programming, or teachers.

GrantWatch has an entire category dedicated to education grants, with categories specifically for preschools and elementary education. We feel our children’s education is of the utmost importance. In fact, our belief in education is so strong that there are also categories that go further than K-12. We also offer lists of grants for secondary education, and higher education as well. See the list we have compiled for you below and visit our website for more information.
