The EMPOWERS program is pleased to announce the availability of funds to support STEM initiatives to 

• Develop workshops or activities to Inspire K-12 students’ interest in STEM and encourage them to choose STEM as their college major and career path.

• Provide support to students currently enrolled in STEM programs at West Virginia universities and colleges to participate in a STEM activity, present at a meeting (e.g. Undergrad Research Day at the Capitol), help with events such as NASA-SPACE day, etc.

• Build a pipeline relationship with industry, university, college, and K-12 schools in West Virginia to empower and support those in the STEM disciplines.

Priority will be given to programs that are directly aligned with a NASA mission (https://www.nasa.gov/missions) and/or serve primarily women and girls.
