Private School Grants & Funding
Fostering STEM and Science initiatives is crucial for equipping students with the skills to thrive in the 21st century. Yet navigating the complex landscape of STEM grant funding can often feel overwhelming—especially for private school leaders who face unique challenges accessing both public and private funding.
While we don’t provide direct funding, LEGO® Education can help you explore funding opportunities that align with your STEM or STEAM goals. We work with public and private schools to create scalable, standards-aligned programs that empower educators and students.
Identify eligible funding sources your school may qualify for.
Align your proposal to funding priorities and STEM-related state standards.
Provide detailed quotes and rollout plans for inclusion in grant budgets.
Offer feedback on your application (we can't write it for you, but we can be a second set of expert eyes).
Provide a formal Letter of Support signed by our Vice President if your program’s grant proposal exceeds $25,000 and centers on LEGO® Education solutions.
U.S. federal education programs provide funding that can support STEM and STEAM initiatives. Private schools can tap into certain federal grants through their local public school district (LEA) as part of equitable services. Let us assist you in assessing eligibility and navigating the process.

Title IV, Part A – Enriching academic programs, including computer science and STEM
21st Century Community Learning Centers (21st CCLC) – Funding for before/after-school and summer enrichment programs
Perkins V – Supporting CTE pathways and future-ready skills
IDEA – Supporting students with disabilities through inclusive, hands-on learning
States offer a variety of grant programs that private schools may qualify for, particularly focusing on STEM, computer science, or career readiness. We're here to help find opportunities that match your goals and timeline.
South Carolina 2025–26 Innovation Grant – Funds innovative STEM, computer science, and career-ready programs for K–12 schools, including nonprofit private schools.
Connecticut After-School Grant Program – Supports high-quality after-school programming, including hands-on STEM enrichment.
Texas WeTeach Computer Science Grant – Provides professional development and curriculum resources to expand computer science instruction.
Many private schools qualify for private, corporate, or philanthropic grants, especially with a 501(c)(3) designation. These flexible opportunities often back innovative, mission-driven educational initiatives.
Local Corporate foundations (e.g., STEM industries)
Family foundations that prioritize K–12 education, innovation, or equity
Community foundations focused on local impact and student opportunity
Private schools aim to offer something truly distinctive. With strategic funding and LEGO® Education solutions, you can create programs that inspire families, stand out from other options, and bring your mission to life.
Launch creative environments where students explore engineering, design thinking, and problem-solving through hands-on, open-ended challenges.
Offer robotics clubs, coding electives, or schoolwide STEM initiatives that build future-ready skills while showcasing your school's commitment to innovation.
Connect your students to science phenomena with easy-to-use, standards-aligned lessons that spark creativity, critical thinking and problem-solving skills.
Invest in your educators through job-embedded training, coaching, and upskilling—then highlight it as a strength to current and prospective families.
Create interdisciplinary, student-centered programs that elevate your school’s identity as a place where curiosity and creativity thrive.
