Summer STEM Programming Grant

Request for Proposals

Tulsa Regional STEM Alliance recognizes that during the summer, parents need daytime programs that offer a safe and nurturing environment for their school-age children to attend. Research confirms children not engaged in learning activities over the summer months will experience some learning loss. This learning gap increases for disengaged youth from a low economic background. STEM summer programming allows youth to gain new skills, explore career opportunities, and develop 21st Century skills. An effective summer program will aid in the growth and development of young people and can enhance their educational pursuits.

Tulsa Regional STEM Alliance is excited to announce a Request for Proposals for STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math) summer programs for Tulsa-area youth. Funding is available for materials, supplies, and other resources needed to carry out effective and equitable programming. Please refer to the complete Request for Proposals (RFP) for specific guidelines regarding how to submit an application for this program.
