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.
What’s inside the Media Arts Technology Funding Guide?
- 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

Hello guys! We’re the Jamfilliated jammers here at @sislercreate, working under the mentorship of @jamfilled on our show, Secrets of Belmonte.
Our story follows our main characters, Iris and Cam, as they delve into the town’s most haunted hotel in hopes of cleansing it and figuring out what caused it to fall from grace. We are currently working on a demo episode and we are very thankful for the opportunity to use the 27” Wacom Cintiq Pro in our animating workflow!
Thanks for peeking into our process, wish us luck here at Secrets of Belmonte!
