Please review the instructions for completing UGA’s internal application for the WiSTEM2D Scholars Award Program prior to preparing your limited submission application. Additionally, please read the full program announcement before preparing your internal application.

The Johnson & Johnson Scholars Award Program aims to fuel the 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, and manufacturing and design.

The awards will fund one woman per STEM2D discipline who has completed her advanced degree, who is working as an assistant professor (or a global equivalent faculty), and who is not yet tenured at an accredited university, institution, or design school. 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. By offering these awards, Johnson & Johnson hopes to play an influential role in STEM2D breakthroughs in the future.
