Education & Mentoring Fund (E&M)

The SAME Education & Mentoring Fund supported and promoted the educational, professional development and mentoring goals of SAME as expressed in the Strategic Plan. The goals of the E&M Fund were both to engage potential future engineers and to support the ongoing professional development of current engineers. Each year, SAME hosted numerous programs intended to achieve these goals, including workshops, webinars, educational sessions, scholarships, and outreach and mentoring activities. All unused fund in the E&M Fund have been transferred to the SAME Foundation.

Accomplishments

The Education and Mentoring Fund Steering Committee approved and implemented the following education and mentoring support to high school and college students and SAME Young Members:

• Tudor Medal for a civilian 35 years or younger
• Sverdrup Medal for a member of the uniformed services 35 years or younger
• Young Member Medal for a young member 35 years or younger

Payment for the airfare of up to 10 Young Members to attend the SAME Leadership Workshops.

Financial stipends were provided to Small Posts that desired to send a high school student to one of the SAME Engineering and Construction Camps but could not afford the total cost.

The Education and Mentoring Fund Steering Committee considered requests from the SAME Committees and Councils, and approved those which were consistent with the purpose of the Fund and could be sustained on a continuing basis within the projected revenue generated by the interest from the corpus of the Fund and donations made to the Fund by SAME members each calendar year.
