STEM Research Grants
Society for Science
Equipment and supplies for teachers who run independent student research programs in grades 6-12.
Grants to fund AI tools and classroom tech
There is no grant on our list just for AI. But several open grants fund STEM equipment, classroom supplies or classroom projects, and a device, software license or AI tool can fit if it serves the project and the funder allows it.
Before you apply for a tech grant: check what your state and district say about AI in classrooms, and what the tool says about student data. Our sister site School AI Watch tracks state K-12 AI guidance and the privacy terms AI tool vendors state, including which AI tools have a free plan. A free tool may mean you don't need a grant at all.
STEM and supply grants that can cover classroom tech
Read each funder's rules on what you can buy. Some only cover supplies or equipment, and some need a project plan.

None of the grants on GrantCountdown is limited to AI. Grants for STEM equipment, classroom supplies or classroom projects can sometimes pay for technology. Check the funder's rules on software and devices before you apply.
What should I check before asking for money for an AI tool?
Look at your state's K-12 AI guidance, your district's policy and the vendor's privacy terms. School AI Watch lists official guidance for each state that has issued it and the privacy terms each tool's vendor states.
