Community Service Award: The AEOP Alumni Association Community Service Award is given to an AEOP participant who has used their knowledge and experience in AEOP to give back to their community. Recipients of this award must have completed an AEOP during or prior to 2023 and demonstrated a significant effort to improve his/her community through their experience in AEOP. Nominations for this award must identify how the AEOP experience impacted this community service.

Nominations for this award must demonstrate how AEOP impacted the nominee’s growth as a STEM teacher.
Mentor of the Year Award: The AEOP Alumni Association Mentor of the Year Award is given to a mentor from one of the various apprenticeship programs within AEOP, during or prior to 2023.

Recipients of this award must have completed two separate AEOPs (e.g., GEMs and JSHS). Participating in the same program more than once does not meet the eligibility requirements. Nominations must demonstrate how their nominee’s continuing experience in AEOP contributes to their growth in STEM.
