EDS TECHNOLOGY GRANT
Funded by:
EDS is a leading global technology services company delivering
business solutions to its clients. EDS founded the information
technology outsourcing industry more than 40 years ago.
Description:
Dedicated teachers often find themselves spending their own
money to buy learning materials as school districts squeeze
budgets. In 1997, we initiated the EDS Technology Grants program
to help defray costs and encourage teachers’ creative learning
solutions.
With these grants, schoolteachers and library media specialists
of children ages 6 through 18 purchase technology to improve
their students’ ability to learn. Through a competitive
application process, applicants create innovative uses of
technology for the classroom. Grants of USD $1,500 are awarded
each year to schools around the world. To date, EDS has given
more than USD $2 million.

Applications should be mailed to the address indicated on the

awarded around April 2008. EDS is not responsible for lost mail
or any mail delays due to circumstance beyond our control.
Grant checks are made payable to the
winning school and cannot be transferred should the teacher
change schools or leave the district. EDS is not obligated to
reissue grant checks that have expired.
