Montana Girls STEM Collaborative Project, a statewide initiative encouraging girls to pursue careers in science, technology, engineering and math, recently launched a mini-grants program to support collaboration, address gaps and overlaps in service, and share exemplary practices.

Teachers, community groups and other organizations committed to collaborating, informing and motivating girls are encouraged to apply by March 31. The grants offer a small amount of seed funding and are not intended to fully fund entire projects.

Organizations may apply for funding up to $750 and must have at least one partner. Organizations must complete Role Models Matter Training. Both partners must be listed in The Connectory, which is free and accessible at theconnectory.org.

To learn more about the mini-grant program, visit ngcproject.org. The online application system opened Feb. 29.
