Oelrich Construction Steam Grant
Oelrich Construction is passionate about connecting students to educational opportunities within the Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics (STEAM) field. Administered by the Cade Foundation, the Oelrich Construction STEAM grant was established to bridge the gap between classroom learning and immersive educational experiences.
Educators interested in organizing a field trip or group visit to the Cade Museum may apply for funding to cover the cost of transportation and/or museum admission for their students. The grant was designed to break down barriers-to-entry for elementary school students with limited financial resources. Applications are accepted on a rolling basis throughout the year; however, preference will be given on a first-come basis to schools and groups of the greatest need. Grant amount is subject to group size and need.
