Grant Opportunity for classroom teachers and library-media specialists

Dedicated teachers often find themselves spending their own money to buy learning materials as school districts squeeze budgets. In 1997, EDS initiated the EDS Technology Grants program to help defray costs and encourage teachers’ creative learning solutions.

With these grants, teachers and library media specialists of children ages 6 through 18 purchase technology to improve their students’ ability to learn.

To date, EDS has given more than USD $2 million.
