The Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA) is paving the way for students everywhere to find success in life, whether that be in college, a career, or both. And Title I grants are a great way to employ the essence of ESSA. Schools with a 40 percent or higher population of low-income students are eligible for the funds.

What does that mean for students? Well, it could mean access to a host of engaging, hands-on STEM products and activities, as a large variety of Pitsco Education curriculum products can be attained using Title I funds.

The TETRIX^® building system, for example, can include or be part of robotics sets, project kits, and activities and curriculum for middle school and lower-division high school students. And Title I grants support the real-world problem-solving inherent in these and other Pitsco products.

Regardless of language barriers or socioeconomic disadvantages, students can still experience success in the classroom – and beyond – with the help of Pitsco, ESSA, and Title I funding.

And for even more great funding, check out the following opportunities.

• The Kerr Foundation supports math and science education.
• Captain Planet Foundation’s ecoSolution and ecoTech grants support environmental literacy and action.
• Lowe’s Toolbox for Education focuses on future needs and basic educational projects.
• The Astronauts Memorial Foundation’s Alan Shepard Technology in Education Award recognizes educators using technology in the classroom effectively.
