2024 Pre-University STEM Education Grants Awarded

Each year, the TryEngineering group within IEEE administers the STEM Portal Grant Program to facilitate the delivery of STEM outreach activities around the globe. This financial support to IEEE volunteers enables them to develop new STEM programs or enhance (or maintain) existing programs. These grant funded activities engage younger students throughout the world in educational activities helping them to learn more about STEM. In 2024, IEEE ComSoc is proud to again provide significant funding to support these grant activities. Of the 53 grant programs selected for awards, ComSoc funding will be used to support 8 of those programs.  View the news announcement and full list of ComSoc funded grants.
