The Student STEM Enrichment Program (SSEP) through Burroughs Wellcome Fund awards up to $60,000 per year for three years for the creation and implementation of after-school, weekend, or summer STEM programs. As a result of current circumstances, BWF has made the difficult decision to not run a 2020 SSEP grant cycle. Extending the current June 1 deadline for application submissions would begin to create schedule conflicts with the 2021 grant cycle that begins in December. Additionally, challenges resulting from the COVID-19 precautions are greatly impacting active SSEP awardees across the state. Going idle with the 2020 SSEP cycle will give BWF the opportunity to address various issues and concerns with cancelled and postponed programming as well as alternate methods of STEM enrichment and exposure. Read more. Finally, ICYMI, the North Carolina 2020 Roadmap of Need is now out - the annual in-depth needs assessment for youth across North Carolina published by the Public School Forum of North Carolina and the North Carolina Center for Afterschool Programs. Access here. And, the Kenan Fellows Program for Teacher Leadership recently announced the 19 North Carolina public school educators who have been awarded 2020-2021 fellowships. Meet the 2020-2021 Kenan Fellows.
