Abhi Khune Underrepresented Minorities Scholarship
With technological advances innovating society, there is currently a high demand for jobs in the engineering field. These trends have contributed to dramatic growth in the number of STEM graduates from colleges and universities across the country.
Unfortunately, these STEM-related jobs are reputable for having gender, racial, and ethnic disparity within the workforce. Regardless of the increase in qualified candidates, Asian and White men continue to dominate the industry. Hispanic workers, Black people, and women continue to comprise a minority in the STEM workforce.

Each winner will receive $2000 to aid them in their educational journey while obtaining their bachelor's degree.
