For chemistry major Mayssa Gregorie, it started last summer in Japan when, as a freshman, she earned her place in the exclusive Nakatani RIES Foundation Summer Fellowship, a 12-week research internship at Osaka University. Combining the best aspects of a traditional study abroad experience with intensive high-technology research internships, the program is based on an award-winning internal STEM program model.

SJC Brooklyn STEM students also find opportunities closer to home. They have participated in the highly competitive Microsoft Data Science Summer Program, which is reserved for the brightest minds in mathematics and computer science in New York City. As part of this experience, students take all-day intensive classes with some of the best researchers in the country and gain in-depth insight on data collection, data cleaning and, most importantly, data analysis.

Others gain hands-on experience through prestigious internships that have included the international media firm Thomson Reuters, MLB Advanced Media and Google.

SJC Brooklyn’s STEM EMPOWERS Scholarship Program can give you the opportunity to join them — and share your love of science and math with future generations. Funded by a grant from the National Science Foundation under the Robert Noyce Scholarship Program, the program provides scholarships for SJC students majoring in mathematics, biology or chemistry who are committed to teaching one of these subjects in a K–12, high-needs school anywhere in the U.S.
