Changing the Face of STEM
To continue the momentum inspired by the L’Oreal USA For Women in Science Fellowships, AAAS is also administering L’Oreal’s new Changing the Face of STEM Mentoring Grants, designed to support former FWIS fellows to mentor the next generation of women and girls in STEM fields. These are $2,500 grants awarded to FWIS alumni to develop STEM education outreach initiatives.

Staying Power: Women in Science on What it Takes to Succeed
To celebrate 15 years of the program and to further contribute to the dialogue around strategies for increasing the representation of women in STEM fields, L’Oréal USA partnered with the Heising-Simons Foundation to commission a study of its alumni and explore how their experiences and recommendations can help more women succeed in science during this critical postdoctoral career stage.
