COMMUNITY IMPACT
At NSBE DFW, providing opportunities for our members to connect and give back to the community is of utmost importance. The chapter is deeply committed to community outreach programs that create a positive and lasting impact throughout the greater Dallas-Fort Worth area. We believe in harnessing the power of our STEM professionals to uplift and inspire.
Throughout the year, we host a variety of community service events, ranging from STEM-focused initiatives in local schools to broader community support efforts. These activities allow our members to apply their skills, share their passion, and directly contribute to the well-being of our vibrant community.
Additionally, we are dedicated to honoring those pursuing excellence in STEM through our robust scholarships and awards program. These initiatives not only recognize outstanding achievement but also provide crucial financial support to the next generation of Black engineers and scientists.
Below is a glimpse into our significant local impact within the Dallas-Fort Worth community.
SCHOLARSHIPS & AWARDS GALA
Each spring, our members, partners, students, and distinguished guests gather for the NSBE DFW Scholarship & Awards Gala, our chapter's premier event dedicated to advancing our mission. This inspiring evening allows us to collectively celebrate and support the future of STEM.
During the gala, our chapter proudly awards thousands of dollars in scholarships to outstanding high school and college students from Dallas, who are passionately pursuing STEM at local high schools or colleges across the U.S. These scholarships are a vital investment, directly fostering inclusion within the STEM pipeline.
We also take this special opportunity to honor individuals whose remarkable work in STEM has made a significant impact in our local community through our prestigious 'Hidden Figures of Dallas' STEM Award. This recognition shines a light on the invaluable contributions of often unsung heroes.
Gala attendees are provided an unparalleled opportunity to celebrate with their peers, network with corporate partner representatives and other attendees, and win prizes from local businesses, all while championing a truly great cause. Your participation helps us continue to empower the next generation of STEM leaders and recognize the trailblazers among us.
