About

Creating Curious & Confident STEM Leaders:

Support High School & Undergraduate Participants in WiSTEM Summer Programs


Inspiring curiosity, fostering a sense of belonging, and building confidence in STEM career pathways happen beyond the classroom.

Help WiSTEM inspire and advance the next generation of our STEM workforce with summer programming scholarships for high school and undergraduate students.


Women in STEM (WiSTEM) is broadening participation in STEM by creating an inspired and curious community of confident STEM leaders.

Weโ€™re not just about science, technology, engineering, and math—weโ€™re about unleashing the power of curiosity. Imagine a vibrant community where inspired minds collide, where STEM leaders emerge with confidence and passion.

Our Mission: To ignite the spark in every student, regardless of gender, and propel them toward STEM greatness. From pre-college to undergraduates, weโ€™re here to fuel your STEM journey.


WiSTEM is fundraising for STEM Learning Scholarships to support high school students to participate in summer camps and undergraduate students to participate in the WiSTEM Externship, where they will expand their STEM learning beyond the classroom, make connections to expand their networks, and gain professional and career skills for their STEM future. STEM Learning Scholarships will help offset registration fees and/or travel expenses for participants.

Past high school campers shared the impact of the WiSTEM camp experience:

โ€œThis experience opened my eyes to new possibilities to grow in my learning. Not only did I meet new people and make friends, but the experience made considering college and careers feel more manageable.โ€
โ€œI was able to grow and develop my skills as an engineer through this camp! I would really recommend it and most definitely come back again!โ€
"I enjoyed learning about different kinds of ways sustainability contributes to the world and engineering. I liked being able to talk to real people about their jobs."
"The role models were incredible, and I hope they keep volunteering so they can share their expertise with our next generation of women in STEM! THEY ARE AWESOME!!"


Your gift of any amount will incredibly impact our STEM students' learning and future STEM career success.
