Entries are now being accepted for the 2022 Possibility Grant Sweepstakes, which awards five U.S. K–12 schools each a $5,000 STEM grant to purchase supplies and technology for any STEM-related initiative. Open through 5 p.m. EDT April 22, 2022, educators and educational professionals are encouraged to enter daily on the Siemens STEM Day website for a chance to win.

At the end of April, two random drawings will be held; the first random drawing, from entries for schools qualified for the Title 1 Schoolwide Program or Title 1 Targeted Assistance Program, will select three winners and the second drawing from all entries regardless of Title 1 status will select two winners, according to the sweepstakes rules.

Presented by the STEM education advocates at Siemens Foundation and Discovery Education, the Possibility Grant Sweepstakes supports high-quality STEM instruction to foster equity and access to quality education. The Sweepstakes is open to all K–12 schools. Learn more about the 2022 Possibility Grant Sweepstakes on the Siemens Foundation site.
