iGen STEM is our STEM education & philanthropic endowment program developed by our STEM Director and education partner to ensure that our scholars are academically and professionally prepared to be our 21st Century leaders. Our goals are achieved by the development of age-appropriate academic resources, the networking with those who are in alignment with our cause, the conducting of research on the social, emotional, psychological and cognitive needs of scholars today and the collaborative investment in their futures. Our focus is to get our Gen-Z scholars academically back on track and enlighten them to the infinite possibilities that are ahead of them, while simultaneously shifting our focus to the next generations of scholars to ensure that they are prepared and ready to follow in their positive footsteps. Our endowment program is a 50-year trust program that will ensure that the academic needs of our scholars are met until 2074.
