Requirement to Notify Teachers about Grant Program to Teach STEM in Nonpublic Schools
From the NJ Department of Education: Teaching STEM in Nonpublic Schools
Legislation signed by Governor Murphy in Aug. 2019 (P.L.2019, c.256) and amended in Nov. 2022 (P.L.2022, c.119) established a grant program that provides additional remuneration for public school teachers to teach science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) classes in nonpublic schools during hours in which the teacher has no conflicting public school duties. Eligible teachers must meet one of the following criteria:
(1) hold certification to teach STEM;
(2) currently enrolled in a STEM certification program;
(3) provide a written commitment to pursue a STEM program within two years; or
(4) currently teach STEM and will teach a subject and grade level in the nonpublic school for which the teacher holds appropriate certification, including certification without a specific subject matter endorsement where permitted by N.J.S.A. 18A:26-1 et seq.
Key steps to be taken by nonpublic schools, public school districts, and interested teachers are listed below.
Background
The grant program is designed to incentivize teachers to obtain the necessary qualifications to teach STEM subjects, incentivize individuals to enter the teaching profession to fill the demand for qualified educators in STEM subjects, help address the difficulties public and nonpublic schools face in attracting qualified educators in the STEM fields, and improve statewide access to education in the STEM fields to address the workforce demands of
New Jersey’s economy.
Key steps/actions
1. Teachers interested in participating in the program must submit their contact information via the TeachSTEM survey link by Jan. 15, 2026.
