MIDDLE AND HIGH SCHOOL STEM GRANT PROGRAM
The Foundation for Health Advancement provides grants to encourage and support innovative STEM projects in middle and high schools throughout New Jersey. We are looking to fund projects that increase students' knowledge and hands-on experience in the areas of science, technology, engineering and/or math.
Grants of up to $2,500 are awarded for innovative middle and high school STEM projects/programs that provide hands-on experience in STEM. Projects should be designed to bring new, exciting experiences to students and motivate them to pursue STEM majors and careers.
STEM faculty members and middle and high school STEM clubs supported by faculty members at public or private schools in New Jersey are eligible to apply.
We know how critical it is for students to continue to learn and stay motivated during the pandemic. The Foundation for Health Advancement hopes that teachers will utilize this grant program to fund initiatives that build excitement for STEM topics and careers. The application is short, simple and limited to a maximum of 500 words.

"The installation of an aquaponics system will enhance the student experience across many disciplines. Beyond the standard STEM principles, aquaponics can be related to economics, business, agriculture, and health. The care and maintenance of the system will encourage teamwork and a sense of community. I look forward to using this custom aquaponics system to inspire students to become environmentally and socially responsible citizens and to perhaps pursue a STEM career."

"Neuroscience is a topic that excites many of our students, although the opportunities to directly explore it in a high school laboratory setting are few and far between. This grant will provide our students with the advanced technology to allow for incredible, hands-on experiments with real, live neurons at work!"
- Dr. Linda Rogers, Freehold Biotechnology High School
