Funding-Limited
Submission - NSF Scholarships in Science, Technology, Engineering, and
Mathematics (S-STEM) NSF 12-529;August 14, 2012
Description:
The
NSF Scholarships in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (S-STEM) program
provides institutions with funds for student scholarships to encourage and
enable academically talented but financially needy students to enter the
workforce following completion of an associate, baccalaureate, or graduate
degree in fields of science, technology, engineering, or mathematics. The
program was established by the National Science Foundation (NSF) in accordance
with the American Competitiveness and Workforce Improvement Act of 1998 (P.L.
105-277) as modified by P.L. 106-313 and P.L.108-447 in 2004. The Act reflects
the national need to increase substantially the number of American scientists
and engineers.

The
Principal Investigator must be a faculty member currently teaching in one of
the S-STEM disciplines who can provide the leadership required to ensure the
success of the project. Projects involving more than one department within an
institution are eligible, but a single Principal Investigator must accept
overall management responsibility. Other members of the S-STEM project
management team may be listed as Co-Principal Investigators.
Limit on Number of Proposals per
Organization:
An
institution may submit one proposal from each constituent college or school
that awards eligible degrees. (For example, a university with a College of
Engineering, a School of Life Sciences, and a College of Arts and Sciences
could submit one proposal from each for a total of three. However, within a
College of Engineering, if the Department of Electrical Engineering were
submitting a proposal, a proposal from the Department of Mechanical Engineering
could be submitted only in a subsequent year. The two departments could also
submit a proposal jointly.)
