TVA community and STEM education grant programs

Overview

The Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) has implemented various grant programs to support community nonprofits and STEM education across its service area.

In early August, the TVA and Athens Electric awarded $46,000 to twelve nonprofit organizations in Limestone County, Alabama, through the TVA Cares program. These funds support diverse initiatives including senior meals, literacy, and scholarships, such as a $9,580 award to the Calhoun Community College Foundation for lineman scholarships.

Concurrently, the TVA has expanded its focus on STEM education through a partnership with Bicentennial Volunteers, Inc. (BVI). Following a previous year of funding, the TVA and BVI announced $700,000 in awards to support robotics education for 187 schools and nonprofit organizations across the seven-state region. In Kentucky, eleven organizations were selected to receive between $2,500 and $5,000 to establish or enhance robotics programs.
