The National GEM Consortium
Linking Exceptional Talent to Extraordinary Careers
The National GEM Consortium is addressing the critical shortfall in the production of American engineering and scientific talent. Our model is strategic and proven with more than three decades of results. As a nonprofit corporation, our core business is providing graduate fellowships in engineering and science to highly qualified individuals from communities where human capital is virtually untapped.
A growing base of corporations, universities, research centers, and U. S. government laboratories partner with us to provide GEM Fellows much-needed financial support—often the deciding factor in pursuing graduate education—and practical experience through advanced-level internships.
We are uniquely positioned to address a national need for innovative technical talent. GEM empowers people to do extraordinary things. Explore our site to learn more.
