Eric W. Larson was a beloved husband and father who passed away too soon after a remarkable life of overcoming difficulties.
Eric worked hard to further his education, pursue the career of his dreams, and become a successful aerospace engineer. He was a strong advocate for gender and racial equality, and fully supported female participation in all fields of work and sport. As the father of two girls, Eric championed the presence of women in the sciences and believed strongly in the value of higher education.
This scholarship aims to honor Eric Larson’s commitment to equality in the sciences by supporting women of color who are pursuing STEM despite the challenges they face.
Any female BIPOC high school or undergraduate student who is financially disadvantaged and pursuing STEM may apply for this scholarship opportunity. The STEM majors that are eligible to apply for this particular scholarship include: Astronomy, Biology, Chemistry, Computer science, Engineering, .Earth sciences, Health sciences (studies that focus on research based on biological sciences, rather than on the study of the treatment or practice of medicine.), Information technology, Mathematics and Physics.
To apply, tell us about your background, any challenges you have faced, how you have overcome these difficulties, why you’re passionate about your chosen field in STEM, and what impact you will make through your future career. Additionally, upload images of yourself, your family, and any important milestones in your life.
