Wacom’s Media Arts Technology Funding Guide
Grant and funding programs can help support classroom technology that builds stronger student-teacher connections, inspires creativity, and improves student outcomes.
A resource that we created especially with K-12 and CTE educators in mind is our Education Technology Funding Guide. In the funding guide, you can discover which programs are available to help your school invest in the learning tools – such as Wacom devices – that help students achieve their full potential.

- An overview of available K-12 and CTE arts and education technology grants and funding resources from governmental agencies, private foundations, and industry and professional associations across the US
- Links to online funding resources by state
- Helpful information to make writing funding proposals and grant applications easier
