Greenhouses for 3rd graders at Oologah Upper Elementary, a weather lab at Ketchum Middle School, and racing drones for Bixby High School students are just some of the projects funded by 2025 AEP Teacher Vision Grants, Public Service Company of Oklahoma (PSO) announced today.
The 24 American Electric Power (AEP) Teacher Vision grants to Oklahoma public school teachers total nearly $8,000. Ranging from $100 to $500, the grants are designed to make creative projects possible for Pre-K through grade 12 teachers.
Oklahoma educators who live or teach in the PSO service areas or in communities with major AEP facilities are eligible to apply for the grants. With an eye toward improving student academic achievement, AEP has a special interest in science, mathematics, technology, and the study of energy.
The AEP Teacher Vision grant program awards up to $70,000 annually across the company’s 11-state service area.
'Every year, the innovative ideas presented by teachers applying for Teacher Vision Grants is inspiring,' said PSO President Leigh Anne Strahler. 'We are honored to help bring these ideas to life and create engaging learning environments for students.'
