    Summary

    The AFCEA Educational Foundation is dedicated to providing support to science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) students and teachers.


    The Gravely and Paige Grants provide funding to elementary and middle schools in the United States to promote STEM innovation in the classrooms with an emphasis on academic programs. This is a joint effort between AFCEA chapters and the AFCEA Educational Foundation to help augment the cost to students for activities or tools inside or outside of the classroom, such as robotics clubs, cyber clubs and other STEM-related activities. 


    The Gravely Grants for Elementary School STEM Teachers are named after the foundation's first executive director, Vice Adm. Samuel L. Gravely, Jr., USN (Ret.), who initiated AFCEA's science and technology teaching tool grants program. 


    The Paige Grants for Middle School STEM Teachers?are named after Lt. Gen. Emmett Paige Jr., USA (Ret.).
