Empowering Classrooms through Technology: Santa Ynez Band of Chumash Indians Foundation’s Technology in Schools Program

The Santa Ynez Band of Chumash Indians Foundation is currently accepting grant applications for its Technology in Schools Program, which supports schools in Santa Barbara County. This program allows school administrators and faculty to apply for grant funding for technology projects, including purchasing hardware, infrastructure, and other resources to enhance the curriculum. Since 2015, the program has provided over $430,000 in grants to schools in the area, such as Cabrillo High School in Lompoc.

Cabrillo High School used the grant funds to create a new reef exhibit in the school’s aquarium. Other schools have used the grants for projects like lighting systems in theaters and multimedia centers, as seen in Lompoc High and Dunn School. If you are interested in applying for this program next year, you must submit your application online by April 30th.
