Bobby and Kanesha Jones Scholarship
STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, Mathematics) fields are responsible for countless jobs, helpful innovations, and formative parts of our world’s infrastructure.
STEAM offers students many avenues for exploring their passions and contributing to progress. However, accessing these industries often comes at great expense, as many jobs require years of education in order to qualify, which comes with thousands of dollars in tuition expenses.
This scholarship seeks to support college-bound and current students who are passionate about pursuing STEAM fields.
Any low-income high school senior or undergraduate student in New Jersey who is an underrepresented minority or member of an underrepresented group, pursuing STEM/STEAM with at least a 3.0 GPA, may apply for this scholarship opportunity.
