NSTEM takes great pride in presenting the Presidential Volunteer Service Award (PVSA) to our esteemed NSTEM members which honors US citizens for outstanding volunteer contributions, promoting civic engagement globally.
During your engagement in obtaining the NSTEM minimum enrichment hours, NSTEM members are encouraged to tackle challenges, from local issues to global concerns, many of which are rooted in STEM disciplines and meet the PVSA criterion of “unpaid acts of volunteer service benefiting others”.
To qualify for this honor through NSTEM, recipients must be active NSTEM members, citizens of the United States, their volunteer hours must be rooted in service to the community, and they must satisfy all PVSA eligibility criteria.
As a PVSA Certifying Organization, we have a simple application process to certify that you have met the requirements to receive the PVSA.
Chapters and Members are responsible for the payment of the award packages and shipping; NSTEM does not charge for processing or shipping the PVSA.

- Customized certificate
- Choice of pin, coin, or medallion
