Program Information: The National Science Foundation's (NSF) Science Master's Program prepares graduate students for careers in business, industry, nonprofit organizations, and government agencies by providing them with a strong foundation in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) disciplines, research experiences, internship experiences, and the skills to succeed in those careers.

Grant Information: Funding for academic institutions in the United States, its territories or possessions that grant the Master's degree in one or more STEM disciplines, and have the capacity to provide education in additional skill areas (i.e. by creating specially tailored courses in business, management, or public administration). The program is intended to catalyze the creation of institution-based efforts that can be sustained without additional federal funding and to encourage diversity in student participation so as to contribute to a broadly inclusive, well-trained science and engineering workforce.
