CSTA’s Chapter Grants Program supports CSTA chapters in building strong communities, providing professional development and establishing an operational foundation. Through this program, chapter leadership can apply for funds and CSTA support to expand the impact of local programs, or start new programs that support the growth of computer science teachers and enhance the value of local chapters. This program is funded through the generous support of CSTA’s partners and CSTA+ membership dues — the more members that upgrade their membership, the more grants we’ll be able to offer!
There are multiple levels of grants to meet the needs of different projects and chapters:
Chapter grant applications must be approved by the CSTA Program Team. All completed applications are subject to approval by the CSTA Program Team based on the recommendations of the CSTA Chapter Relations Manager and Director of Education.
