State leaders are urging Hoosier high school students to apply for the 2020 Governor’s STEM Team. Governor Eric Holcomb, Superintendent of Public Instruction Jennifer McCormick and State Treasurer Kelly Mitchell have joined together on the call for applications for a competition that was developed in 2017 to highlight student work in science, technology, engineering and math. 

“We know that a firm foundation in STEM provides Indiana’s students with a tremendous advantage,” Gov. Holcomb said. “Students who demonstrate excellence in science, technology, engineering, and math deserve to be celebrated for their hard work and achievements, and I’m excited to share their talents with our entire state.”

Four high school students will be honored for their performance in one of the STEM subjects, with winners each receiving $1,000 college scholarships from Indiana’s College Choice 529 Direct Savings Plan, along with STEM team letterman jackets.

The submission period is now open and applications and nominations will be accepted here until March 27. Winners will be announced during a May Statehouse ceremony.
