To further inspire and recognize excellence from K to Career™ in the fields of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics, the National STEM Honor Society™ (NSTEM™) provides annual recognition to a number of groups and individuals who uphold our values and commitments. Recipients of these non-monetary annual awards will each receive a plaque as well as national recognition on the NSTEM website, newsletter, and social media. Awards may be granted in each of the elementary, middle, high school, college/university, and organization-sponsored levels and must be associated with a school that has a current National STEM Honor Society Chapter. The four award categories are:
- Advisor/Chapter NSTEM Champion Award
- Student-Led Project NSTEM Champion Award
- Outstanding Educator NSTEM Champion Award
- Outstanding District NSTEM Champion Award
