Alabama Power Foundation accepting Students to Stewards grant applications

The Alabama Power Foundation is accepting applications for the annual Students to Stewards grant program for 2023.

Part of the foundation’s ongoing environmental and sustainability initiatives, Students to Stewards this year will provide grants of up to $2,500 to schools with a financial need. The grants support conservation education, including classroom lessons, in-the-field learning and teacher training.

Since its creation in 2014, Students to Stewards has awarded more than 50 grants totaling more than $100,000. The grants have provided resources for a variety of conservation education projects, from the construction of outdoor classrooms to lesson plan development. Students to Stewards also helps younger generations gain a greater understanding about the many rewarding career opportunities connected to science and the environment.

For a school to be eligible for a Students to Stewards grant, at least 50% of its full-time student population must receive free or reduced-price lunches. The deadline to apply for a grant is Feb. 10. Find out more about Students to Stewards and the grant criteria by clicking here.
