Call for PAMESEM Nominations!

Categories: Mentoring

Date: 12/15/2019

The Presidential Awards for Excellence in Science, Mathematics and Engineering Mentoring (PAESMEM) are excited to announce that nominations and applications for the 2019–2020 cycle are now being accepted!

PAESMEM, established by the White House in 1995, seeks to recognize individuals and organizations that have demonstrated excellence in mentoring those that are underrepresented in STEM education and the workforce. The PAESMEM program is administered by the National Science Foundation (NSF) on behalf of the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy (OSTP).

Each individual and organizational PAESMEM awardee receives a $10,000 award and a commemorative Presidential certificate. Awardees are also invited to an awards ceremony in Washington, D.C., and to participate in meetings with STEM education, research, and policy leaders.

We’re reaching out to encourage you to nominate an exemplary mentor by completing the nomination form available on the PAESMEM website. All you will need is the mentor’s or organization’s name, email address, and contact information for their employer (if nominating an individual). If you’re a mentor yourself, we encourage you to begin an application online.
