TENNESSEE VALLEY-Join us as TVA announces the 2024 School Uplift Grant winners from across the agency’s seven state service territory. The virtual event will be attended by hundreds of students, staff and teachers eager to learn their school’s grant amount. TVA and partners will award grants ranging from $10,000 to $400,000, totaling over $3 million, to assist with building energy upgrades and learning environment improvements. Grant amounts are dependent on the score each school achieved by cutting their energy waste through behavioral changes and by engaging students, faculty, staff and their community over the year-long program, as well as a needs-based assessment for each school that determined which buildings could achieve the greatest energy savings.et. this willbe a live virtual event visit
