Pratt & Whitney E-STEM Awards 2023 ($50,000 prize)
Applications for the Pratt & Whitney E-STEM Awards 2023 are now open. The Pratt & Whitney E-STEM Awards support promising E-STEM programs across the globe to build environmental literacy, STEM skills, and pathways to environmental careers through two funding opportunities: E-STEM Prizes and E-STEM Grants. E-STEM Prizes recognize excellence in established programs and E-STEM Grants support and enhance new programs.
E-STEM engages students in meaningful, real-world environmental problem-solving that integrates science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM). E-STEM is not only a philosophy of teaching that promotes interdisciplinary learning, but also inspires students to apply what they learn to help solve complex environmental issues.
They are particularly looking to support applicant organizations that engage students (ages 11–22) in taking action on climate change solutions, sustainable energy, and/or sustainable aviation; work with underrepresented audiences in STEM; and use partnerships to boost their impact.
