Welcome to the Alumni Center
The Community
The 3M Young Scientist Challenge Alumni Network brings together a growing community of former Challenge finalists and mentors to connect over a unique shared experience, celebrate the achievements of fellow alumni, remain engaged in the 3M Young Scientist Challenge program, and continue innovating.
About the Alumni Network
The 3M Young Scientist Challenge Alumni Network is comprised of finalists and mentors who formerly participated in the Challenge, ranging from middle school to PhD candidates, and individuals pursuing full-time careers. Alumni collaborate in networking events, and cheer on the next generation of young scientists.
Alumni Grants Awards
Scientists are always innovating! As part of the Alumni Network, former finalists are eligible to apply for continued support through the annual Grant Awards. The Grant Awards provide additional funding for current Alumni projects such as continuation of their original entry project, a new innovation that improves upon the world with STEM, or promoting science in their community and creating the next generation of young scientists.
