Funder: Alabama State Department of Education
Due Dates (Anticipated): September 2027 (Application deadline)
Funding Amounts: Competitive grant funding for school-based robotics programs
Summary: Supports Alabama public school systems’ robotics programs for elementary, middle, and high school students.
Key Information: Applications must come from Alabama public local education agencies on behalf of their schools.
The Alabama Robotics Grant Program is administered by the Alabama State Department of Education to support school systems seeking to fund school-based robotics programming. Funds are awarded through a competitive application process to eligible local education agencies (LEAs), with programs serving elementary, middle, and high school students.
The department announced the Fiscal Year 2027 program through a memorandum from State Superintendent of Education Eric G. Mackey to city and county superintendents. Its focus is robotics within elementary and secondary education, rather than a separate research initiative. The program application contains regulatory requirements and a timeline of related expectations, with application materials, submission guidelines, and frequently asked questions made available through AMSTI Robotics.
