The Armed Forces Communications and Electronics Association (AFCEA), Aberdeen Chapter, partners with Harford County Public Schools (HCPS) to help enhance the science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) educational experience for students and to prepare them to be the next generation of scientists in Harford County.
As part of this partnership, awards are granted in the forms of scholarships, tools or equipment that is related to improving HCPS STEM education in any amount up to $5,000 per award. This summer, the following educators will receive awards as part of this program:

Justification for the scholarship, tool or equipment must be directly applicable to STEM and provide value to HCPS STEM education. Criteria considered in determining the awards include, but are not limited to: number of students impacted, filling a ‘gap’ in STEM education, and increasing student interest/excitement in STEM.
Awardees are invited to the AFCEA Aberdeen Chapter Luncheon in September 2011.
