Product Grant Program

We donate NI products to educators and innovators who are addressing the world’s most pressing social and environmental challenges.   

Classroom Grants

NI is committed to diversifying the engineering talent pipeline and supporting aspiring engineers. Our Product Grant program provides higher educational institutions with NI’s test and measurement software and training, enabling them to bring engineering concepts to life for students. We give priority to universities serving underrepresented or economically disadvantaged students. 

 

By using the same powerful, industry-leading tools engineers and scientists use, students will gain hands-on experience they’ll need to compete in the workforce.

Learn More About Product Options

LabVIEW is a powerful graphical programming language that can be used for research or to teach engineering system design to students and give them the visibility they need to make their own discoveries. It enables students to learn the most popular test and measurement development software for engineers and scientists.

 

Multisim is circuit simulation software for teaching analog, digital, and power electronics courses and labs by connecting simulation to experimentation. It empowers educators to teach circuits in a way that maximizes student learning and real-world preparedness.
