The scholarship will be awarded to a student to attend the six-day NYLF Explore STEM session that will take place at Loyola University in Chicago, July 13-18. Dr. Bush-Joseph will be speaking at this session.
Envision will select the recipient of the Dr. Charles A. Bush-Joseph Scholarship based on financial need, scholastic merit, leadership achievement and other factors.

Scholars in the program receive firsthand exposure to STEM professions that are in high demand in the United States and throughout the world. Interactive simulations, hands-on workshops and educational site visits provide opportunities for discovery in fields such as engineering, health care and environmental science. Students also gain valuable college exposure while residing on the campus of Loyola University.
