Shays Scholarship
Education matters on an individual level because it opens up doors for people to pursue their passions and creates tremendous opportunities for the future.
Paying for college isn’t a simple task, and for some students, it can be a barrier to earning a degree. The Shays Scholarship will support a student who is passionate about pursuing a degree in any branch of science. This scholarship will help students fund their education, making the path to education easier to follow.
High school seniors and undergraduate students are eligible to apply if they have volunteer experience and are majoring in some form of science.
To apply, write about an experience that motivated you to pursue further education.
Tell us what motivated you to pursue a higher education. Additionally, tell us which field of science you are going into and what excites you about this.
