What This Grant Funds
The AT&T Foundation funds STEM education, digital literacy, and workforce development programs for K-12 students with a focus on communities served by AT&T's telecommunications infrastructure. Grants support coding programs, AI literacy initiatives, technology tools, and programs that build career pathways in technology fields for students from underserved backgrounds. AT&T's Aspire program is a major component of its education giving, targeting programs that help at-risk students graduate and develop technology skills.

Pennsylvania's major cities including Philadelphia and Pittsburgh, as well as many suburban and rural communities with AT&T service, are covered. Programs targeting at-risk students, first-generation college students, or students from low-income households are given priority.
Funding Amounts
AT&T Foundation grants for STEM education range from $25,000 to $250,000. Multi-year grants are available for programs with strong outcomes data and the capacity to scale. Smaller project grants are also awarded through AT&T's community giving programs at the local market level.
