RICHMOND, VA. (AP) - Dominion Resources' charitable foundation is awarding $610,000 in education grants to 51 Virginia schools.

The Richmond-based energy provider says the grants will help fund projects at 36 K-12 schools related to energy and the environment.

Other grants to 15 college and post-secondary schools will help fund projects in renewable energy, environmental studies, engineering and workforce development.

The Virginia grants are part of $1.4 million awarded to 110 schools in 10 states where Dominion does business.
