Technology Grant Program

To further encourage the linking of technology to the curriculum, NETA is proud to continue the Technology Grant Program. NETA wants to encourage projects that directly integrate different types of technology into different subject areas (including across the curriculum) and different grade levels. The desire would be that selected grant projects would be beneficial to many educators and students (not just one individual or situation). This contest is open to Nebraska K–12 public and private school teachers. Grants will be awarded with a maximum of $1500 each (total in awards not to exceed $6000).
