The International Society for Optics and Photonics (SPIE) provides grants to projects relating to optics and photonics, as well as STEM projects involving optics and photonics. Applicants must display “potential to impact students and increase optics and photonics awareness” and will be judged on that criteria among others. Organizations that receive Education Outreach Grants twice in five years may only apply for a Sustaining Grant. SPIE grants have limits on what they can be used for.
