Thomas Geotechnical Scholarship
While jobs in the STEM workforce continue to expand, they see uneven progression in diminishing the gender, race, and ethnic disparity.
Hispanic workers, in particular, only account for 8% of all STEM jobs despite representing 17% of the total workforce. They remain underrepresented in the industry even though they comprise a significant population pursuing STEM degrees in undergraduate and graduate programs.
To encourage future diversity, the Thomas Geotechnical Scholarship will support Hispanic students pursuing a degree in STEM, with preference given to students in engineering. All Hispanic High School seniors in Florida are eligible to apply for this scholarship.
To apply, please tell us a bit about yourself, your intended major in STEM and how you have or plan to give back to your community.
