How to Submit Supernova Award Applications
The Supernova Awards are the ultimate achievement within the BSA STEM program. They represent dedication and interest in STEM and willingness to be involved at a higher level than the typical youth. As such, the BSA requires more than an application as stated on the Supernova Application form.
Please note that Supernova Applications require thorough documentation and it's highly recommended to document the work you've done via pictures, presentations, documents, etc. that can be submitted to the JSC STEM Committee when submitting your Supernova Application.
Submitting Applications:
- Upon starting the process, download and start filling out the Supernova Award Application PDF linked below. This application will be updated as you work on the requirements.
- Find and start working on the requirements for the Supernova Award you're eligible to earn (each varies by BSA program) with your Supernova Mentor.
- Supernova Mentors are specific adult mentors approved by the JSC STEM Committee. For help finding one or inquiring about how to become a mentor, please email stem@jerseyshorescouts.org
- Upon finishing all requirements and obtaining proper documentation, go to the tab for your corresponding BSA program and scroll down to the green button that says "Submit Supernova Applications Here". This will take you to the submission form you will need to fill out with as much documentation as possible.
- After submitting, the JSC STEM Committee will review your application and get back to you about their decision.
