About the EDS
Technology Grant Program
The EDS Technology Grant challenges teachers and
library media specialists to develop innovative uses of
technology for classroom learning. The program enables schoolteachers
and library media specialists of children ages 6 through 18 to purchase
information technology products and services that will improve their
students' ability to learn. EDS teams/accounts worldwide sponsor and
award $1,500 grants to teachers through a competitive application
process. The grants are awarded through the schools.
Grants must be used to pay for technology products,
training, and services and EDS encourages applicants to propose
innovative classroom projects or student exercises. Examples of
qualified grant expenditures include computer software and hardware,

access, online time to networks or databases, and student technical
training.
