Funding Opportunities

• In April, ED released two notices for fiscal year 2021 awards: one was for the Gaining Early Awareness and Readiness for Undergraduates Program (GEAR UP) partnership grants and the other for the Hispanic-Serving Institutions (HSIs) STEM and Articulation Program.
• One of the activities that GEAR UP funds, which aim to help low-income high school students obtain a diploma and prepare for higher education, can be used is for dual or concurrent enrollment in STEM programs. Generally, GEAR UP is a priority for the American Association of Community Colleges. Applications are due June 28.
• The Office of Naval Research released a funding opportunity announcement for grants ranging from $50,000 and $600,000 for a total of $12 million to higher education institutions and other groups. The office seeks proposals that help to “establish, build, and/or maintain STEM educational pathways of U.S. citizens directly relevant to the needs of Department of Navy’s (DON) current and future workforce.” Applications are due October 8.
