This was Versacare Foundation’s fifth successive year funding STEM grants and marked the third consecutive year it funded every school that applied for a STEM grant. The STEM grant program has provided funding in three categories: • $5,000 for smaller schools of 3 classrooms or less; • $10,000 for larger schools of 4 or more classrooms and 12-year schools; • $10,000 for senior academies.
