As part of its continuing relationship with the communities it serves, PPL Corporation is once again offering grants to teachers to help their students learn more about energy, the environment and resource conservation.

Through the competitive “Empowering Educators” grants, teachers can receive up to $2,000 for educational projects that focus on energy issues like renewable energy demonstrations, energy efficiency and the greening of schools.

The program focuses on science, technology, engineering and math projects to encourage action in schools in Pennsylvania and New Jersey near company facilities.

“The students who will benefit from these grants are the homeowners and leaders of tomorrow,” said Meg Welker, PPL’s manager of Education and Public Outreach. “Continued support of education will help communities thrive in the future.”

Applications must be postmarked or received on or before 4 p.m. Nov. 9. Grant awards will be announced Dec. 10. For more information, and for grant application forms, visit the Empowering Educators page.
