We are immensely proud to announce the recipients of the Jane Street and Hudson River Trading Summer STEM Stipends, awarded to BEAM high school students in partnership with Jane Street Capital and Hudson River Trading.

We are elated to announce our second class of College Scholarship recipients. Five students will receiving scholarships from BEAM, three with support from our partner Jane Street.

In the wake of the Supreme Court’s decision severely limiting affirmative action in college admissions, BEAM’s work is more vital than ever.

Graduation season is an exciting time of year at BEAM, as the students we’ve known since middle school graduate and continue their incredible STEM journeys. This year, we introduce to you Zeñia Alarcon, who graduated from Worcester Polytechnic Institute this spring with a bachelor’s degree in mechanical engineering and a master’s degree in management. This month, she is beginning her career as an assistant superintendent with a construction management company. Congratulations, Zeñia!
