NOAA's Bay Watershed Education & Training (B-WET) program funds meaningful watershed educational experiences for K-12 students. Colorado schools near waterways may be eligible for grants supporting climate, water science, and environmental STEM programming.
What This Grant Funds
B-WET funds programs that provide students with direct outdoor experiences in local watersheds combined with in-school environmental education. Eligible activities include field investigations, water quality monitoring, and climate science curriculum tied to local ecosystems.
Who Can Apply
Schools, nonprofits, and government agencies operating K-12 environmental education programs near watersheds are eligible. B-WET is regionally focused, so Colorado applicants should confirm regional eligibility with NOAA's Office of Education before applying.
How to Apply
Applications are submitted through Grants.gov when a regional competition is open. Check NOAA's Office of Education website for current availability in the Mountain West region. Strong proposals demonstrate direct student outdoor experiences, curriculum integration, and measurable environmental literacy outcomes.
