The National Science & Technology Medals Foundation (NSTMF) is a non-profit organization based in Washington, DC, with a mission to build inclusive STEM communities across the United States. They aim to foster connections between individuals who have received national recognition for excellence in STEM and college and high school students, paving the way for a more equitable future in science and technology.
The NSTMF envisions a world where the diversity of American society is reflected in the recipients of prestigious STEM honors. They focus on addressing the high attrition rate of first-year STEM students, particularly those from underrepresented groups, by providing education, mentoring, and inspiration to help students pursue their dreams of becoming scientists or inventors. Through their values of equity, empowerment, holistic wellness, and breaking down barriers to access, the NSTMF strives to create STEM spaces where all individuals can flourish.
