(1888PressRelease) July 28, 2022 - The Center of Excellence in Education (CEE) announces that three students have been awarded scholarships to attend a six-week virtual summer program focused on science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) hosted by RePicture.

The scholarship recipients are:

Kuzey Kantarcioglu (Istanbul, Turkey) – Robert College
Madeline Pinches (Los Alamitos, California) – Los Alamitos High School
Aquib Syed (Richmond, Virginia) – Todd Allen Phillips Center for Medical Sciences at Mills E. Godwin High School

"I'm so proud of these young scholars," said Joann P. DiGennaro, CEE President. "Because of their participation in the Center's STEM Lyceums program, they learned about this exciting summer program."

During the virtual summer program, which is being conducted online through July 29, the students explore STEM careers, build important professional skills and a resume, and create a unique online portfolio of work to highlight on job and university applications. Each week, the program focuses on a STEM topic and a career skill such as personal branding, career exploration, STEM writing, professional networking, and giving presentations. Students also connect with a wide range of STEM professionals.

CEE's STEM Lyceums program consists of monthly virtual meetings that engage high school students in discussion and exploration of STEM concepts and unique STEM career pathways, provided at no cost to schools or students. Students interact with STEM professionals and fellow students, both national and international. Meetings foster critical thinking skills, encourage excitement for science, and prepare students to enter STEM careers. CEE's STEM Lyceums partners include Virginia Bio, United Negro College Fund, and the Urban League of Hampton Roads.

RePicture is a public benefit organization with a mission to increase interest and diversity in STEM, focused on historically underrepresented groups. Students are provided with one-on-one career coaching, mentorship, and the tools to create a personal portfolio of project research that will help them thrive in the STEM world.
