Edmund Optics 2012 Higher Education Grant Program accepting applications

Optical components provider Edmund Optics is now accepting applications for their 2012 Edmund Optics Higher Education Grant Program. In a continuing effort to support outstanding undergraduate and graduate optics programs in science, technology, engineering and mathematics at non-profit colleges and universities, Edmund Optics will be awarding grants worldwide totalling US$80,000 in products.

“Because of the overwhelming success of our global grant program, we have increased the grant amount by 20% over last year for a total of $80,000 in products,” said Kirsten Bjork-Jones, Director of Global Marketing Communications.

“It’s easy to apply and I would encourage anyone involved in a project using optics, opto-mechanics or imaging components at a non-profit college or university to do so.”

The entire process takes less than eight minutes.

Applications must be submitted by 30 June, 2012. The grant awards will be announced on 14 September, 2012.
