Giving to GEM

Why Donate?

National data consistently show that the pathway to advanced STEM degrees remains narrow, and the number of students continuing on to earn master’s and doctoral degrees is significantly smaller than the number earning bachelor’s degrees. Representation decreases even further at the faculty level, with fewer scholars advancing into senior academic ranks. At the same time, employers across sectors continue to face challenges in building and sustaining a strong, future-ready STEM talent pipeline.

Your investment in GEM directly expands access to graduate education by eliminating financial barriers, providing mentorship, and connecting exceptional talent to leading research institutions and companies. Every gift helps ensure that more students can pursue advanced STEM degrees, contribute groundbreaking research, and strengthen the nation’s scientific and technical workforce.
