$10,000 fund aims to support middle and high school science projects in Chicago and Washington DC
CHICAGO, Sept. 3, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Black Girl Vitamins (BGV) is marking Back-to-School season by committing $10,000 to STEM-focused resources for middle and high school science classrooms in underserved communities. A portion of sales from September 6-12 will fund essential supplies and hands-on learning tools for students.
On average, teachers spend $895 on classroom supplies to support students’ success; BGV is committed to funding selected schools to help mitigate some of the cost and focus efforts on future doctors of the next generation. The selected schools include Daniel H. Williams Preparatory School of Medicine and Corliss Early College STEM High School in Chicago, and Howard University Middle School of Mathematics and Science in Washington D.C.
One Chicago school project will explore diabetes, giving students an opportunity to connect classroom learning to a health issue that disproportionately affects Black communities nationwide.
“At Black Girl Vitamins, we believe every student deserves the opportunity to explore STEM and imagine what is possible for their future,” said Jennifer Juma, Chief Strategy Officer. “By supporting projects that bring science to life, including those that examine real-world health issues, BGV is helping students build the curiosity and confidence to pursue new possibilities.”
BGV is dedicated to advancing Black women in healthcare through sustained educational investment. Building on the brand’s $100,000 scholarship fund, this effort broadens that commitment by reaching students earlier in their academic journeys.
