A total of 10 grantees will receive hands-on technology and accompanying professional development to help them foster STEM literacy with students

BEAVERTON, Ore., Oct. 1, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Vernier Science Education is now accepting applications for its 2025 Inspiration Grants, designed to support K–12 and college educators in fostering STEM literacy with students. As part of the grant program, a total of 10 educators will each receive $1,000 worth of Vernier technology of their choosing, an annual license for Vernier Graphical Analysis^® Pro, and three hours of virtual professional development to further support their teaching.

"Educators across the country are doing extraordinary work day in and day out to engage their students in hands-on STEM learning," said Jill Hedrick, CEO of Vernier Science Education. "With our Inspiration Grants, we're excited to provide data-collection technology—and the professional learning to go with it—so educators can amplify their impact and empower students to explore science more deeply."

The grants are open to all K–12 and college educators who are actively teaching at an educational institution in the United States and who have not previously won a grant from Vernier. As part of the application process, educators must describe how they will implement the $1,000 worth of Vernier technology in their classroom or laboratory, their educational institution's needs, and how the funding will enhance their instruction and engage students.

Grantees will be selected by a panel of fellow educators and Vernier employees.
