Johnson & Johnson is welcoming applications for the 2023 WiSTEM2D Scholars Award. Submit yours now! By offering these awards, Johnson & Johnson hopes to play an influential role in STEM2D breakthroughs in the future.
The Johnson & Johnson WiSTEM2D Scholars Award Program 2023 aims to fuel development of female STEM2D leaders and feed the STEM2D talent pipeline by awarding and sponsoring women at critical points in their careers, in each of the STEM2D disciplines: Science, Technology, Engineering, Math, Manufacturing and Design.
The awards will fund early to mid-career women working within a STEM2D university department. The goal is to fuel the research passion of the awarded women and inspire career paths in their respective STEM2D fields. Johnson & Johnson is looking to identify global women leading in both their research fields and leading as mentors, to be a vision for girls and other women in STEM2D.
