Missouri STEM Signing Day Scholarship

Just like signing days for athletes, Missouri STEM Signing Day celebrates Missouri high school seniors as they make their commitments to study a STEM field in 4-year or 2-year college or technical school. STEM Signing Day is powered by the Boeing Company, and supported by other STEM focused companies across the state. The Missouri Chamber Foundation’s Mathematics and Science Coalition launched the Missouri STEM Signing Day program in 2019 in partnership with the Boeing Company to raise awareness of STEM pathways for students beyond high school. More on the program can be found at – https://mochamber.com/uncategorized/stem-signing-day/

Whether you seek to work on some of the latest technologies in the manufacturing space by attending a Mechatronics or Advance Machining Technician program at a 2 year college or Technical school or working on cutting edge bio-life science research to improve the quality of our lives by attending a Bio-Chem or Nursing program at a 4 year college — wherever your passion takes you. Missouri STEM Signing Day is about recognizing your future. This program recognizes outstanding students across the state who are inspired by STEM and dedicated to pursuing a STEM career pathway in postsecondary education and beyond, and raises awareness of companies in Missouri for future career opportunities that they and others can pursue.

Missouri STEM Signing Day took place on Friday, April 28, 2023.
