ceived a donation of $1 million from Bat- telle to support NSBE initiatives in science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) education. Half of the gift will establish annual scholarships for NSBE members at col- leges around the country. Most of the re- maining funds will be used for programs at the grade school and middle school levels. Smaller amounts will be dedicated to other initiatives. The money will be distributed over the next five years. “Battelle and the National Society of

from Battelle, and I am deeply moved,” says NSBE National Chair Ainsley A.
Stewart Jr., the organization’s top-ranking officer. “We look forward with great antici- pation to the opportunities these funds will provide to increase black participation in STEM and increase NSBE’s positive im- pact on society by offering scholarships to deserving students.” Battelle will join more than 300 other
organizations as sponsors of NSBE’s 33rd Annual National Convention. This event is expected to draw more than 10,000 con- ference attendees to Columbus, Ohio, in March.
