The President of the United States annually recognizes the people and institutions that have provided broad opportunities for participation by women, minorities and disabled persons in science, mathematics and engineering at the elementary, secondary, undergraduate and graduate education levels.
No more than 10 persons and 10 institutions are selected each year for recognition. Each award includes a $10,000 grant to provide for continued mentoring work.
The awards are presented during the Spring at a White House ceremony.
