Ten academically talented, financially needy students majoring in chemistry or physics are receiving scholarships of $10,000 annually for four years. The students are recruited from City of Philadelphia high schools with majority enrollments of minorities and a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced cost lunches. Approximately fifty high school students with an interest in science are being identified and invited with their parents to attend information meetings to learn about the scholarship availability and the application procedures. Potential S-STEM scholars are identified by their teachers and participation in either Science in Motion or the Kaczmarczik lecture series. These programs are intended for high school students and their teachers. All scholars participate in three six-month Co-operative education experiences as an employee in a company or government organization doing work directly related to the student's major.

在化学或物理学领域主修的10名学术才华，经济上有需要的学生每年获得10,000美元的奖学金，为期四年。 这些学生是从费城市高中招募的，其中有少数族裔招生，并且有资格获得免费或降低成本午餐的学生比例很高。 大约有五十名对科学兴趣的高中学生正在与父母一起参加并邀请他们参加信息会议，以了解奖学金的可用性和申请程序。 潜在的S-STEM学者由他们的教师确定，并参与运动中的科学或Kaczmarczik讲座系列。 这些课程旨在为高中生及其老师提供。 所有学者都在公司或政府组织的雇员中参加了三个六个月的合作教育经验，从事与学生专业直接相关的工作。
