The 2020 Grow Rural Education program offers $15,000 grants to enhance STEM education

Posted on January 23, 2020

 

The 2020 Grow Rural Education program, which provides Idaho farmers with the opportunity to nominate local rural public schools for $15,000 grants designed to enhance STEM education, is officially underway.

Grow Rural Education, has awarded more than $18 million to more than 1,000 schools nationwide since the program began in 2011.

Previous winners have used the grant money to convert an unused locker room into a Monarch butterfly incubator. Another school used the grant to enhance its STEM classes by purchasing an aquaponics system that breeds fish and grows plants in an integrated environment.

Now until April 1st, farmers can nominate their school district by visiting www.Americasfarmers.com.
