STEM and Scholarship Overview
Investing in the next generation of engineers, builders, and skilled trades
Developing people is one of SAME’s three goals, and it starts long before the first job. The Savannah Post supports students from middle school robotics through college and trade school, with sponsorships of local STEM programs, member volunteers, and a renewable scholarship program.
