Many fields benefit from having a diverse workforce that brings in different perspectives.
Unfortunately, systemic barriers prevent many demographics from being accurately represented in different sectors, especially those that require advanced degrees. Women, racial minorities, LGBTQ+ individuals, and first-generation students all face unique obstacles in higher education and the workforce, making support for diverse voices critical.
This scholarship aims to support minority students so they can pursue higher education in STEM.
Any first-generation, BIPOC, female identifying, and/or LGBTQ+ student who is pursuing a degree in STEM may apply for this scholarship.
To apply, tell us why you’re pursuing the degree and why diversity in the workplace is important.
Please share why you are pursuing the degree of your choice and explain why diversity in the workplace is important to you.

The winner will be publicly announced on Dec 1, 2022. Prior to the announcement date, we may contact finalists with additional questions about their application. We will work with donors to review all applications according to the scholarship criteria. Winners will be chosen based on the merit of their application.
Award checks will be sent to the financial aid office of the winner's academic institution or future academic institution in their name to be applied to their tuition, and in the name of their institution (depending on the school's requirements). If the award is for a qualified educational non-tuition expense, we will work with the winner directly to distribute the award and make sure it goes towards qualified expenses.
Before we award the scholarship, the winner will be required to confirm their academic enrollment status. Depending on the circumstances, verification of Student ID and/or their most recent transcript will be required.
