School is back in session, and Florida Power and Light Company is offering $50,000 classroom makeovers for five eligible Florida schools as part of its continued commitment to STEM education.
“At FPL, we believe that knowledge is power and that by enriching students’ experiences in STEM, we can help break down barriers to opportunity and drive interest in furthering their education and future opportunities in STEM fields,” said Kate Cotner, director of community engagement for FPL.
The Classroom Makeover Grants are part of a $2 million, four-year commitment from the company’s charitable arm, the NextEra Energy Foundation, to increase the exposure of under-represented students in STEM and jumpstart students’ interest in STEM careers.
Funds are available to update STEM classrooms with new infrastructure, technology, or resources, including software, equipment, books and training for teachers.
Grant applications will be accepted through Oct. 15. For more information or to apply for a Classroom Makeover Grant, visit FPL.com/ClassroomGrant.
