Contact: Jeffrey S. Murter, (443) 402-9097 Email: Jeffrey.S.Murter@saic.com Bethesda Chapter In fiscal year 2011-2012 AFCEA Bethesda awarded $86,000 in grant funds to its educational partners on top of its annual $131,000 scholarship contribution to the University of Maryland Shady Grove and Montgomery College as well as AFCEA International and Montgomery County High School. The additional grant money funded four new programs – the AFCEA Bethesda Program Grant, the AFCEA Bethesda Computer Science Connect Grant, the AFCEA International Teacher Grant, the AFCEA/UMCP STEM Scholars Grant – and it will financially support the Innovative Minds of Tomorrow Institute. These grants are intended to promote an interest in STEM, with a special focus on the middle school female demographic. In June and July 2012, the AFCEA Bethesda Computer Science Connect Grant allowed 19 seventh grade students to attend a three-week-long day camp at the University of Maryland College Park, where they learned programming and advanced software skills. Since 2009, AFCEA Bethesda has awarded a total of $450,000 in scholarships. “The Computer Science Connect grant has also facilitated a relationship with our Program Grant recipients to participate in Sonya Kovalevsky Day hosted by Montgomery College,” said Mike Priddy, VP of Education for AFCEA Bethesda. “It’s great to see our grant recipients form partnerships with one another. Building STEM interest in the younger generation is best started with a strong foundation of support throughout the community.” Contact: Michael Priddy, (240) 599-9300 Email: mpriddy@intervise.com Central Maryland Chapter Thirteen scholarships will be presented for studies in mathematics, computer science, engineering and technology disciplines.
