William R Smith Foundation
Sponsoring Future Scientists, Engineers, and Mathematicians
Welcome Aboard
The William R Smith Foundation is a nonprofit organization that supports extraordinary high school students as they prepare for post-secondary education in the STEM field. By assisting these pupils with the financial burdens of their education or technical training, students are enabled to focus exclusively on their passions to become an engineer, technician, scientist, operator, or mathematician. It is imperative we support these young minds as they prepare to face the challenges of tomorrow, namely: climate change, artificial intelligence, renewable energy, and space exploration.
