Westinghouse N-Vision STEM Grant supports middle and high schools with $1,000 awards for energy, science, technology, and math projects, fostering STEM education, community engagement, interdisciplinary learning, and real-world problem solving; apply by October 9.
The Situation Explained
A $1,000 school grant funding student-led STEM projects using community resources and real-world learning.
- Open to middle and high schools in Westinghouse communities
- Five awards of $1,000 for proposed STEM projects
- Focus on energy, science, technology, and math
Westinghouse Electric Company announced sponsorship of a grant for middle and high Schools focusing on science, technology or mathematics through a proposed hands-on project with students.
Administered through the company’s speaker’s bureau, N-Vision, the grant is designed to encourage both teachers and students to think of a creative project based on energy, math, science, or technology, aligning with efforts like the IEEE workforce training that promote STEM readiness, in the context of worldwide political, economic and environmental realities.
John Goossen, Director of the Science and Technology Department for Westinghouse, said the grant is consistent with Westinghouse’s ongoing effort to encourage young people to take a stronger interest in math and science, as seen in Westinghouse job opportunities news across the sector.
The contest is open to all middle and high schools where Westinghouse has a presence, particularly in states advancing programs like the Ohio energy jobs initiative through regional collaboration. Five middle or high schools will be awarded $1,000 each to carryout their proposed project, and examples such as Extech school scholarships underscore similar support for students. Projects need to involve students directly and incorporate community resources, interdisciplinary or team-teaching principles.
Specific guidelines and an application for the contest can be found on the Westinghouse website at: www.westinghousenuclear.com and under “Communities” and “School Grant”, and teachers may also review ESFI safety efforts when shaping project ideas. Teachers and schools are encouraged to complete their project proposals and submit them by October 9.
