Opportunity Summary:
The FY 14 NAWCAD Lakehurst STEM Grants opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number NAWCAD 14 1 0001) is a competitive education grant program offered through the Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR) education outreach effort. It is aimed specifically at strengthening and modernizing STEM learning by funding innovative science, technology, engineering, and mathematics activities for students in grades 4 through 12. The program is tied to the Naval Air Warfare Center, Aircraft Division in Lakehurst, New Jersey, and is designed to support schools that are already connected to the Lakehurst organization through a formal education partnership agreement or that have one pending.
Geographically, the program is narrowly focused: proposed STEM efforts must serve students in Ocean, Monmouth, Mercer, and Burlington Counties in New Jersey. The intent is not general education support, but targeted STEM innovation, meaning the grant is meant to help schools improve, expand, or introduce creative STEM programming rather than cover unrelated school expenses. While the announcement does not list example project types in the provided text, the framing suggests projects that enhance hands-on learning, classroom or lab improvements tied to STEM instruction, new curriculum elements, student engineering challenges, or other approaches that build stronger STEM outcomes for the covered grade levels.
Funding for this cycle is modest but structured to support multiple awards. NAVAIR estimated a total of $50,000 available, with an expectation of making about 8 awards. Individual awards have a ceiling of $6,250, and the award floor is listed as $0, which typically signals that award sizes could vary and that not every application necessarily results in funding. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, so applicants are not required to provide cash or in-kind match as a condition of receiving an award.
The opportunity was posted and created on March 13, 2014, with an application closing date of April 15, 2014 (both the original and current closing date are the same). The funding instrument type is a grant, and the activity category is education. Eligibility is described broadly in the listing as "Others," but clarified in the eligibility information: the key qualifying factor is that the applicant must be a school serving grades 4 to 12 in the specified New Jersey counties and must have a formal or pending education partnership agreement with the NAWCAD Lakehurst organization.
For applicants who could not access the full announcement electronically, the listed point of contact was Heather Hollywood, Contract Specialist, reachable by phone at 732-323-1682.
