This prestigious program is hosted and coordinated by The Gatton Academy of Mathematics and Science and The Center for Gifted Studies at Western Kentucky University (WKU). The ten Scholars selected for the 2020 class will convene May 31-June 6, 2020 on WKU’s campus in Bowling Green, Kentucky.

National STEM Scholars will receive a stipend for technology and supplies necessary to complete a Challenge Project for classroom implementation, a tablet to facilitate communication between colleagues, and sponsored attendance at the 2021 NSTA National Conference in Chicago. Mentoring will be provided throughout th eyear by WKU Faculty.
