Governor's STEM Scholars Program

Governor's STEM Scholars Program Founded in 2013, the Governor’s STEM Scholars Program is a free, statewide STEM education initiative for NJ students in grades 10 through the PhD level.

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 progra

m 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.

One of the great pleasures of building the Governor's STEM Scholars Program for the State of New Jersey is watching it grow from an idea to one of the premier programs for high school, college, and graduate students. This past weekend, we graduated our second class and it was an honor to have Senator Cory Booker speak to our scholars. If you are interested in learning more about the program or supporting it, please go to our website at www.govstemscholars.com. Thanks!

In this video, Senator Cory Booker (D-NJ) congratulates the 2016 class of Governor's STEM Scholars on their graduation from the program.
