Pratt & Whitney E-STEM Awards—Congratulations 2023 Awardees! 

The Pratt & Whitney E-STEM Awards support promising E-STEM programs across the globe to build environmental literacy, grow STEM skills, create pathways to environmental careers, and promote sustainable aviation through two funding opportunities: E-STEM Prizes and E-STEM Grants

E-STEM engages students in meaningful, real-world environmental problem-solving that integrates science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM). E-STEM is not only a philosophy of teaching that promotes interdisciplinary learning, but also inspires students to apply what they learn to help solve complex environmental issues.

E-STEM Prizes recognize excellence in established programs and E-STEM Grants support and enhance new programs. Learn more about the funding opportunities for the Prizes and Grants below!

Check out the 2023 Pratt & Whitney E-STEM Prize and Grant Winners below!
