Immigrant Daughters in STEM Scholarship
Students from immigrant families often face significant challenges that can put them behind in school or in the job market.
Immigrant students bear the responsibilities of intense language learning, adapting to cultural expectations, navigating unfamiliar systems, and often lacking the built-in support networks that others have. Students who rise to the occasion and succeed in the face of these obstacles must work extremely hard and be dedicated to their studies.
This scholarship aims to support women from immigrant families who are passionate about pursuing higher education.
Any female high school senior or undergraduate student in her first two years of college may apply for this scholarship opportunity if she is pursuing STEM with at least a 3.0 GPA and if she is from an immigrant family (first or second generation). Applicants should demonstrate resilience and responsibility, exhibit resourcefulness through their struggles, and use their immigrant background as a source of strength and perspective. Students attending the Florida Institute of Technology are especially encouraged to apply.
To apply, tell us about a significant struggle you’ve faced, how you’ve shown resourcefulness in overcoming it, and how this experience has impacted you as a student and future professional. Additionally, upload an image that you feel is relevant to your essay.
