NWO/COSMOS Grant Opportunities
The NWO/COSMOS Grants-to-Educators Program supports STEM K-16+ educational efforts that are well aligned with the NWO vision, mission, and goals. Currently, four opportunities exist.
Co-Sponsorship of K-16 Professional Development
- NWO Professional Development Co-Sponsorship Request
- Mini-grants for K-16 professional development programs that are well-aligned with NWO mission and goals. The sponsorship region covers events held in northwest Ohio (or outside events organized by NWO Center of Excellence members). Applications may be submitted in the range of $100 to $1,000, thereby allowing a number of organizations to benefit. It is expected that other organizations share the cost of the event.
