Three area schools are among 343 public schools across seven states to receive a STEM grant from the Tennessee Valley Authority.
TVA reported Monday that Gateway Academy to Innovation and Technology, Todd County Central High School, and Todd County Middle School will all receive up to $5,000. The program, in partnership with Bicentennial Volunteers Inc., a TVA retiree organization, is awarding a record $1.5 million in grants to educators in public schools to develop science, technology, engineering, and math education projects across the Tennessee Valley region.
The grants were awarded in a competitive process, and preference was given to grant applications that explored TVA’s primary areas of focus: environment, energy, economic development, and community problem-solving. Any school that receives its power from a local power company served by TVA was eligible to apply. The grants were awarded to meet the diverse needs of local communities.
