Equal Access I.M.S.A Scholarship
STEM fields are the future and will be responsible for improving the world for generations to come.
Opening the doors to STEM jobs is crucial for the future of our world. Unfortunately, the innovative career opportunities present in STEM industries are often inaccessible to students from modest backgrounds. Pursuing a career in STEM requires years of college that come at no small expense.
This scholarship aims to support first-generation students who are pursuing their academic and professional goals in STEM.
Any first-generation high school senior or undergraduate student who has at least a 3.5 GPA and is pursuing a degree in STEM may apply for this scholarship if they’re a DACA recipient or undocumented student.
