LOS ANGELES (FEBRUARY 21, 2023) – The American Water Charitable Foundation, a 501(c)(3) organization established by American Water, the largest publicly traded U.S. water and wastewater utility company, recently announced that PS Science has been awarded a STEM (science, technology, education, math) Education Grant, supporting communities served by California American Water.
“California American Water is extremely pleased to support PS Science in bringing hands-on, high-quality STEM education to under-served students throughout Los Angeles County,” said Kevin Tilden, President of California American Water. “We applaud PS Science’s mission to educate children and support teachers to inspire the next generation of talented scientists, engineers, and STEM professionals.”
The STEM Education Grant is part of the American Water Charitable Foundation’s Keep Communities Flowing Grant Program, focusing on three pillars of giving: Water, People and Communities. PS Science is among three grantees in the state of California and has been awarded $7,500 to fund weekly in-classroom science lessons, extracurricular clubs, camps, and enrichment for under-resourced L.A. County elementary students
“With the American Water Charitable Foundation’s support, PS Science will bring STEM education to more than 6,000 under-resourced students,” said Julie Olds, Executive Director of PS Science. “That is a 70 percent increase in students served in just the past two years at Title 1 elementary schools throughout Los Angeles County, where students have little to no STEM learning.”
