The STEM Scholars Program is a free six-week after-school program for Chicago high school students (9th - 12th grades) to reinforce their science knowledge through challenging hands-on activities and excite them about STEM majors and careers. The students also
get a chance to speak with professionals in several STEM fields related to each topic covered to better understand the education and career requirements, and an opportunity to intern at the ERC over the summer.
The Spring 2026 STEM Scholars after-school program registration is now open!
Applications are due on 2/25
Students can learn more about the program and register by visiting stemscholars-erc.uic.edu or by completing the registration form.
