NW12-021 August 30, 2011 To: NW Council Members From: 2012 STEM Grant Committee Subject: Pre-Submitted New Business: Distribution and Disbursement of STEM Funds Background The NW council commissioned the STEM grant review committee to review applications and suggest a distribution of the budgeted STEM funds. The 2012-2013 budgeted STEM fund is $10,000. SPEEA has received 25 applications requesting $38,800 of funding for STEM related activities. The combined budget for these teams and events exceeds $480,000. The committee has met to review the applications and discuss the distribution of funds. Our funding recommendations are summarized below. The STEM committee proposes an increase of the STEM fund budget to $15,000 for this budget year based on the increased number of applicants and requests for funding. # of Students Funding Funding SCHOOL NAME Affected Requested Recommended Rationale The grant provides Auburn Mountain View High funding to a FIRST School 70 $1000 $750 Robotics team.
