Our Mission is to foster pathways to success in globally competitive STEM careers for students in the United States. We aim to ensure the U.S. remains a global thought leader in science, math, and technology by promoting projects that encourage STEM education and provide career opportunities for individuals with STEM backgrounds. Established in 2022, the Foundation seeks to give students and educators resources for developing in STEM, supporting programs that make a difference regardless of background or resources, and transforming attitudes around STEM subjects for socioeconomic and economic freedom.
Grants will be made to organizations supporting Middle and High School students participating or interested in advanced STEM programs, aiming to pursue a college degree in a STEM-related field. Achieving this involves fostering a love for STEM, preparing for college and STEM careers, promoting problem-solving and critical thinking skills. Supported programs should have a rigorous STEM curriculum, integrate project-based learning, offer specialized tracks (e.g., computer science, biomedical science), have qualified STEM teachers, state-of-the-art facilities, partnerships for real-world experiences, and enrichment activities like clubs and competitions. Continuous improvement, parent and community engagement, professional development, and sustainability plans are also essential. Grant awards are capped at $50,000.
