S-STEM Program
Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (S-STEM) Scholarship Program
The S-Stem Program is not accepting new applications at this time.
The S-STEM program, funded through the National Science Foundation (NSF), is intended to address the critical shortage of a technically trained workforce that is essential to the well being of our country and economy. This comprehensive program provides financial and academic support for talented and deserving students, especially those from under-represented groups.
