FundingAward amounts are determined by the number of applications, grant-review evaluation and total funding available; no fixed per-applicant maximum is published on the controlling page.
DeadlineSeptember 18, 2026 at 5:00 PM. The controlling public page does not state a time zone.
Required next actionPublication active. Eligible K-12 schools and nonprofit community organizations in Cass, Clay, Jackson or Platte counties may use the official KC STEM Alliance application process by September 18, 2026 at 5:00 PM. Because the issuer does not state a time zone and the 48-hour outreach threshold cannot now be established with certainty, do not begin new applicant outreach to previously unsent organizations. Continue only already-authorized work for organizations contacted before the cutoff when otherwise permitted.
Current statusActive — 2026-27 FIRST Tech Challenge team grant applications are open through September 18, 2026 at 5:00 PM. The controlling KC STEM Alliance page does not state a time zone, so Atlas does not infer one.Source verificationSeptember 18, 2026
