The Ludwick Family Foundation seeks opportunities to encourage new and expanded projects and programs by providing grants to non-profit organizations for new equipment, equipment replacement and modernization, improvements to facilities, and educational materials. Grants are made for a single year. Foundation grants are awarded twice a year, in February and October.
Letters of inquiry are open to any organization that wishes to be considered.
Full proposals are by invitation only . Computational scientists guide 25 teams of teachers in their exploration of innovative tools and applications that support students learning in collaborative work groups focused on science and mathematics. The selected teams continue their involvement during the following 18 months with monthly seminars and a Summer Institute. The teacher teams develop modeling and simulation curriculum modules that are shared nationally. As leaders in their school systems, teachers organize wider adoption of computational science methods by their peers.
