STEM Scholars at The Franklin Institute


STEM Scholars


The Franklin Institute's newest educational program, aimed towards Philadelphia and South Jersey area youth, is searching for talented students to be a part of its next class. The STEM Scholars Program will identify highly motivated, underserved, freshmen high school students (grade 9) to participate in concentrated outreach science and engineering programming to ensure their long-term pursuit of careers in Science, Technology, Engineering, or Mathematics (STEM). The selected students will be immersed in a rigorous, project-based, informal science curriculum consisting of both school-year and summer programs.

The STEM Scholars Program admits only 15 students each year, therefore admission is very competitive.

The requirements for entrance to the program are:

- The program selects underserved, high need students from the Greater Philadelphia Region;

- Minimum 3.0 Middle School GPA;

- One Letter of Recommendation from a Teacher/Administrator from Middle or High School;

- Personal statement (to be written in the box provided at the end of the application);

- Mandatory interview.



The application deadline has passed. Check back in fall 2013 for the next opportunity to apply.
