FPA Supports ACECNJ STEM Grant Program
French & Parrello Associates (FPA) is a proud founding sponsor of the American Council of Engineering Companies of New Jersey (ACECNJ) STEM Grant Program. This program awarded grants to six exceptional STEM programs across New Jersey.
The ACECNJ STEM Grant Program was brought to life through the leadership of FPA’s Sara Irick, PE, CME, TDM-CP, PMP, who served as Chair and helped develop the initiative alongside the Engineering Excellence Awards (EEA) Committee. The program supports schools (elementary, middle and high) and nonprofit organizations that are cultivating students’ interest in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics fields that are the foundation of our industry.
By backing this program, FPA stands alongside a group of committed sponsors who share our belief in nurturing future engineers. These grants give students the chance to engage with real-world challenges while helping to sustain and strengthen the talent pipeline for the engineering profession.
We’d like to extend our congratulations to the six winners of the 2025 Stem Grants, including Science and Engineering Program at Manalapan High School, Sussex County Technical School, STEP-UP Solar, The Gearing Towards Engineering Foundation, Port Republic School, and Lower Township Elementary School District!
We’re excited to continue supporting programs like these in the years ahead, and we remain committed to fostering STEM learning throughout the Garden State.
