STEM Grants - TryEngineering. org Powered by IEEE IEEE TryEngineering STEM Grant Program Share. Give Back.
Inspire. Announcing the 2026 STEM Grant Recipients . TryEngineering.
org is the home for volunteers who are committed to inspiring the next generation of engineers. Our STEM Grant Program is designed to support your STEM outreach work in your community, so that you may Share, Give Back and Inspire. In doing so, you are partnering with other IEEE members who, like you, are interested in finding ways to introduce pre-university students to IEEE’s fields of interest.
We invite IEEE members to apply for funding to support their event, program, or resource. There are three levels of funding available, noted below in US dollars. (minimum of 5 grants available) (minimum of 10 grants available) (minimum of 15 grants available) In 2026, the IEEE Computer Society will again support up to $10,000 for this program (multiple grants in various amounts).
Applications that have a computer science or computer engineering focus will be considered. In 2026, the IEEE Communications Society (ComSoc) will support up to $10,000 for this program (multiple grants in various amounts). ComSoc members with an application that focuses on Communications and Networking Technology (e.g. 5G, IoT, Wireless) will be considered for these grants.
In 2025, the IEEE Oceanic Society (OES) supported up to $5,000 for this program (multiple grants in various amounts). Applications that had an ocean engineering focus (ocean protection, renewable ocean energy, coral reef protection) were considered. In 2026, IEEE Women in Engineering (WiE) will support grants up to $3,000.
Applications focused on girls in STEM will be considered. In 2026, the IEEE Signal Processing Society (SPS) will support up to $3000 for this program (multiple grants in various amounts). Grants that have a Signal Processing Technology focus (e.g. Artificial Intelligence, Speech, Image and Video Processing, Virtual Reality) within this level of funding will be considered.
In 2026, the IEEE Information Theory Society (ITSoc) will support up to $2,500 for this program (multiple grants in various amounts). Grants that have an Information Theory focus will be considered. ITSoc is devoted to advancing the mathematical underpinnings of information, communication, and computation for the benefit of humanity.
It explores coding, compression, data transmission, security, quantum information, and machine learning to drive progress in modern technologies. Donations to the IEEE TryEngineering Fund of the IEEE Foundation are used to support the TryEngineering STEM Grant Program. Thank you to all of the donors who help make this program possible.
If you would like to contribute to TryEngineering programs, please make a donation via our IEEE TryEngineering Fund donation page . STEM Grant Program Spotlights The TryEngineering STEM grant program provides funds to IEEE volunteers and groups to support their outreach activities for school-aged children around the globe. Any IEEE member may apply for a grant.
IEEE members who apply for and are selected for funding can choose to receive funding upfront through their IEEE Section or be reimbursed via the IEEE Concur system after the successful completion of the grant program. The grant funding is available to support implementing an IEEE pre-university program (ie. materials, venue fees, supplies).
Members are encouraged to review resources, events, and programs at tryengineering. org. IEEE organizational units may apply for various levels of funding as noted above.

DARPA MTO opened six FY26 SBIR topics on May 27 with a June 24 deadline — nanopore proteomics, compact RF filters, 800°C ICs, passive thermal spreaders, radiation-hardened codesign, and low-resource computing. The topics read like a wishlist for the next decade of contested-environment microelectronics. Here is what each one is actually asking for, and how small businesses should triage the four-week window.
