Are you a farmer? Want to help support your local school district? If so, you can nominate them for a $15,000 grant to help fund classroom STEM projects by April 1. 

The annually awarded grant is available through the America's Farmers Grow Rural Education program, funded by Bayer. Nominated school districts can submit a grant proposal and compete with other schools within each state. 

Private and independent schools are not eligible for the grant. Public schools are eligible, including charter schools that are categorized as public schools by the National Center for Education Statistics. The winners will be notified in early August. Click here for more information.
