Johnson Johnson Scholars Program For Women in STEM2D

Deadline: September 30th, 2022

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, 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.

By offering these awards, Johnson & Johnson hopes to play an influential role in STEM²D breakthroughs in the future.
