In addition to the SME Education Foundation’s goal of engaging students in the practical applications of manufacturing through its PRIME program, it also provides annual scholarships to help fund their pursuit of a higher education in advanced manufacturing-related curricula. The Foundation recently awarded 250 students in the US and Canada with scholarships totaling over $661,000. The awards included $105,000 for the annual SME Education Foundation Family and Director’s Scholar- ships and $556,000 in other scholarships. In addition, since 1998, the Foundation has provided more than $8 million in youth programs, helping over 60,000 students explore career opportunities in manufacturing.
The Foundation has been able to provide these scholarships and monetary awards through its long-term partnerships with leading corporations, philanthropic organizations, educational institutions and SME members. However, there’s still a great deal of work that needs to be done to bring the importance of technology and engineering curricula to the forefront and into the classrooms, as well as to promote the importance of manufacturing and its role in economic prosperity. With that in mind, I urge all of you to do your part to support the T&E in STEM, whether that’s through your local schools, at your manufacturing companies or by engaging with the SME Education Foundation—by combining forces, success is guaranteed.
