MNA’s Ongoing Work On NSF’s S-STEM Grants to Support Academically Talented High Needs Students in STEM Disciplines

There is no denying that a well-educated and informed science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) workforce is a significant contributor to developing and maintaining the competitiveness of the U.S. in the global economy. The National Science Foundation’s Scholarships in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (S-STEM) program addresses the need for a high quality STEM workforce in STEM disciplines by supporting academically talented students with demonstrated financial need who are pursuing associate, baccalaureate, or graduate degrees in STEM.

Over the past 4 years, we have been very fortunate to work with several colleges as their thought partners and / or their education researchers or evaluators on S-STEM grants.
These include:
Pellissippi State (TN)
Broward College (FL)
University of South Florida and Polk State College (FL)
University of Louisville (KY), and
West Chester University (pending).

We are also very fortunate to receive ongoing excellent mentorship on S-STEM grant writing and submission processes from David Brown and John Krupczak. Thank you for your tireless work with community colleges on the S-STEM grant.
