Wilmington, NC, June 28, 2017 --(PR.com)-- Monies raised through Wilmington’s March for Science will support grants for science programs and projects in New Hanover, Pender, and Brunswick County High School System of North Carolina, with the announcement of a new science-related grant offering. Grant applications will be accepted commencing July 1, 2017. The grant review period will start September 30, 2017, with grant awards anticipated for late fall. Grants with a maximum of $1,000 each will be awarded to individual classroom teachers or groups of teachers for science-related education efforts. The grants are made possible with proceeds from March for Science t-shirt sales, donations, and a variety of fundraising events that preceded the March.

“Science is everywhere and done by everyone,” says Madi Polera, March for Science – Wilmington co-organizer. “The high school science grants will help advance the spirit in which people came together to support the Rally and March - appreciating and encouraging high school students who share our community’s enthusiasm for science and exploration. The March wants to take the opportunity to give back to the people in the area who consistently empower science and education.”
Teachers in the tri-county area are invited to submit proposals. Applicants can request funding for programs, activities, supplies, equipment, books and other essential components needed to facilitate science-related education.
The March for Science – Wilmington High School Science Grant cycle opens July 1, 2017, and with a Grant Review period starting September 30, 2017. Grants will be reviewed on an as-received basis.
