What Is the Rural Tech Fund?
The Rural Tech Fund provides grants of up to $5,000 to rural K-12 schools for computer science and technology education programs. The fund specifically targets schools in rural communities that have limited access to CS resources.
Who Can Apply?
Rural public schools across the US, including rural Oregon schools. Schools without existing CS programs or with limited technology resources are strongly encouraged to apply.
How Forward Education Fits
Forward Education kits are ideal for rural schools using Rural Tech Fund awards. Our curriculum is self-contained, works without internet access, and is designed for teachers without a CS background.
