STEM fields remain heavily male-dominated and lacking in diversity, with women and minorities making up small portions of offices and teams. We need to change that!

This scholarship seeks to support and encourage female minority students to pursue STEM majors in college or tech schools so that they can focus on their studies rather than worrying about the costs of attendance.

Any female minority high school, undergraduate, or graduate student who is a South Carolina resident pursuing STEM may apply for this scholarship if they have extenuating circumstances and have faced adversity.

To apply, tell us about any circumstances that have made your pursuit of higher education difficult and how this scholarship would ease your journey.
