Florida Power & Light Company has extended its Classroom Makeover Grant application deadline to Dec. 13, 2024, giving schools affected by Hurricanes Helene and Milton more time to apply for $50,000 in STEM classroom improvements.
- The grants, funded through FPL’s charitable arm, the NextEra Energy Foundation, aim to enhance STEM education by providing resources for technology, equipment, software, books and teacher training.
“We recognize that many schools are facing unprecedented challenges due to disruptions caused by Hurricanes Helene and Milton, and we want to make sure that every eligible school has the opportunity to apply for grants to create state-of-the-art STEM classrooms,” said Kate Cotner, director of community engagement for FPL.
The program targets Title 1 schools and those serving at least 40% economically disadvantaged students. Public, private and charter schools at all K-12 grade levels are eligible to apply.
Winners of the classroom makeover grants will be announced in early 2025. Schools interested in applying can find more information and submit applications at FPL.com/ClassroomGrant.
