For a number of educators across demographics, securing grants and funding can be mission-critical to setting their classroom up for success. Grants can make a significant difference in accessing the best and most relevant classroom technology. The right classroom tech not only fosters creativity and enhances student-teacher connections, but it can also be the missing ingredient to creating better outcomes for students. There is a caveat, however — and itโ€™s that access to grant and funding opportunities is a constantly-evolving landscape that can sometimes involve intensive research.  

Because we realize that things change so quickly, the Wacom for Education team is excited to introduce a refreshed and comprehensive resource tailored specifically for K-12 and CTE educators: the Media Arts and CTE Funding Guide.ย 

The guide is designed to streamline the process of finding and securing funding for educational tools, including Wacom devices, which can transform your teaching experience and positively impact student success. This guide is full of essential information and strategies to help educators navigate the complex world of grants and funding more easily, as well as valuable information on how to access the right classroom tech.
