Opportunity Information: Apply for NAWCAD 18 1 0001
The FY19 NAWCAD Lakehurst STEM Grants opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number NAWCAD 18 1 0001) is a discretionary education grant offered by the Department of Defense through NAVAIR (Naval Air Systems Command). Its purpose is to support hands-on STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) learning experiences for students and professional development opportunities for teachers, with a particular connection to STEM education outreach and engagement tied to the Naval Air Systems Command Lakehurst Facility. The program is structured to fund practical, near-term expenses that help schools and educators deliver STEM instruction in more engaging, real-world ways.
Funding under this opportunity can be used in several specific categories. First, it can cover costs related to organizing a student field trip to the Naval Air Systems Command Lakehurst Facility when the trip is intended to reinforce or extend STEM curriculum. Allowable expenses for this category include transportation and, where necessary, the cost of a substitute teacher, along with other associated trip-related costs that directly support the instructional purpose of the visit. Second, the grant can pay for teacher participation in STEM education programs or conferences. This includes typical travel and attendance expenses such as transportation, lodging, per diem, and conference registration fees, reflecting an emphasis on strengthening educator capacity and classroom impact through formal training or STEM-focused professional learning.
A third major use of funds is to support participation in robotics competitions during the 2018/2019 school years. This category includes competition registration fees and related participation costs. The announcement names examples of eligible robotics programs and competitions, including FIRST, SeaPerch, and VEX Robotics, while also indicating that the list is not exhaustive. This suggests the grant is meant to reduce cost barriers that often prevent schools or student teams from competing, and to encourage experiential learning that builds engineering, programming, teamwork, and problem-solving skills.
Finally, the opportunity allows funding for other STEM education outreach initiatives, particularly those that harness and collaborate with national or regional organizations. Examples provided include programs like MathCounts, the Journal of Visualized Experiments (JoVE), and Camp Invention, again signaling that comparable initiatives could also be considered if they align with the grant goals. This category is designed to be flexible enough to support well-established STEM enrichment models that have broader networks, structured content, or recognized impact, while still maintaining a focus on direct educational benefit.
Key administrative details included in the listing indicate an award ceiling of $12,000 per award and an expectation of about 12 awards. The CFDA number associated with the opportunity is 12.330, and the activity category is Education. The opportunity was created on September 19, 2018, with an original application closing date of October 19, 2018. Eligibility is listed broadly as “Others,” with clarification expected in an additional eligibility section of the full announcement, meaning applicants would need to consult the full posting to confirm whether their specific organization type (for example, a school district, individual school, nonprofit, or other education-focused entity) qualifies.
Overall, this grant opportunity is aimed at relatively focused, practical STEM investments: enabling student exposure to a Navy-related STEM environment via field trips, improving teacher STEM instruction through conferences and training, supporting robotics competition involvement, and backing other structured outreach efforts delivered in partnership with recognized STEM organizations.Apply for NAWCAD 18 1 0001
