Our goal
Created by Lo Carter of The Hag Doctor® Project, the Goths Belong in STEM Scholarship seeks to support and affirm alternative students pursuing higher education in STEM. This scholarship is founded on the belief that STEM fields are stronger, more innovative, and more compassionate when they reflect the full spectrum of human culture and community.
The Goths Belong in STEM Scholarship aims not only to reduce financial barriers, but also to stand as a visible affirmation —that alternative students and professionals bring value to their fields, that their presence is a force for change, and that the future of STEM is brighter with them in it.
Eligibility: Any undergraduate or graduate student pursuing STEM—including healthcare or mortuary sciences—who identifies as generally alternative or as part of an alternative subculture (including but not limited to: goth, punk, metal, emo, body-mod, occult etc.), and expresses that identity through their presentation (e.g., tattoos, piercings, alternative dress, etc.) is welcome to apply. Applicants should also be prepared to reflect meaningfully on how their identity and expression have shaped their journey in STEM, any challenges they've overcome, and the role they envision for themselves in the future of their field.
Pending funding, applications will tentatively open January 2026.
