COLUMBUS FELLOWSHIP FOUNDATION

The Christopher Columbus Fellowship Foundation (CCFF) was established by Congress in 1992 as an independent federal government agency. The Board of Trustees is appointed by the President... At the Columbus Academy, finalist teams compete for valuable scholarships, two Gold Medal awards and a $25,000 Community grant. Each is awarded to enable the teams to bring the winning STEM solution to life in their communities. Each winning grant team builds upon community leadership, scientific guidance, private and public resources and extensive volunteer energy. Each winning team is carefully monitored and nurtured over the coming full year of performance... Leadership tomorrow depends on how we educate our middle and high school students today - especially in science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM).
