Trust us, we know how much work STEM applications can be. This past round alone Teach NYS staff reviewed over 700 STEM and AMTS (Art and Music) applications for member schools, plus advised on 200 more.
Over the past 7 years, school administrative staff have dedicated their summers to the compilation of STEM applications, and Teach NYS staff have dedicated ourselves to providing our member schools with the white glove treatment, carefully reviewing every application and preparing detailed feedback. Well, this white glove treatment is no longer limited to the summer months…
Teach NYS began working with many of our member schools on their 2024-25 STEM and AMTS applications this past November. Although the application itself hasn’t yet been released and there will be some changes to the required documents, 95% of the requirements will remain the same as last year. So, we began early outreach six months before the application is even expected to be released.
So far, the response from our member schools has been incredible. They understand that completing their applications (as much as possible) now will ensure their staff have relaxing summers, without the daunting STEM application process. As of now, several schools have nearly everything possible done, months before the application is released!
Even better, for any member school that would like to begin the process now, Teach NYS will collect, compile, organize, and fix just about everything for you! It’s a new review process that our member schools love, and Teach NYS takes the heavy lifting off their shoulders. Please be in touch with your dedicated Teach NYS STEM staffer (Adam Katz, Pessy Katz, or Ronit Mershon) if you’d like to begin now, if we haven’t already been in touch.
Now’s the time to prepare yourself [and your summer!] for success!
