Governor STEM Scholars

A public-private partnership among the Research & Development Council of New Jersey, Governor’s Office, New Jersey Department of Education, and Secretary of Higher Education, this program brings together a diverse and representative group of 50 high school and post-secondary student leaders who are interested in pursuing a STEM-related major and career in New Jersey’s vast STEM economy.

The program selects student leaders who are interested in STEM so that they can be exposed to everything New Jersey has to offer in STEM across all sectors – academia, industry, and government. Through a series of four conferences during the school year, as well as trips to STEM organizations across the state, the Governor’s STEM Scholars provides students with opportunities to closely interact with New Jersey STEM professionals, research organizations, and state policymakers to educate themselves about and experience the state’s STEM economy. The program offers scholars mentoring opportunities and enables them to make personal and professional connections that can last throughout their academic and professional careers.

The Governor’s STEM Scholars’ goal is to educate students about STEM opportunities within the state, as well as to encourage New Jersey’s economic development by further developing New Jersey’s STEM talent pipeline.

Application Deadline: June 6, 2014
