Grants Available to ASM Student Chapters!
The ASM Materials Education Foundation has set up a Student Chapter Grant program, which allows student chapters to submit a proposal describing their outreach activities for funding consideration. We have five grants to award at $500 each!
The general idea is that the activity or project proposed has to be something that moves toward the mission of ASM Materials Education Foundation which is “Develop and deploy materials science content and hands-on, minds-on instructional strategies to inspire, engage and empower future generations to create STEM solutions for 21st century challenges.”
Proposal must contain:
- Description of project or activity
- Timeline of activities
- Costs associated with the project
A successful project must:
- Be submitted on or before the deadline
- Involve K-12 outreach
- Outline objectives clearly
- Outline the methodology to achieve objectives
- Indicate tangible outcome(s)
- Demonstrate creativity
- Show a likelihood of success
Proposals must be received by November 15..
A subcommittee of the Action in Education Committee reviews the proposals. Grants will be awarded in February.
