Undergraduate Minorities in STEM Scholarship
The STEM industry has grown by 79% since 1990, but many groups are still underrepresented.
Most STEM workers are White or Asian, while only 7% of STEM workers are Hispanic and 9% are Black. In order for the STEM industry to advance and become more equitable, it must become more diverse.
This scholarship seeks to support underrepresented students pursuing STEM degrees at HBCUs who are involved in their communities.
Any underrepresented minority pursuing STEM at an HBCU with a 3.0 GPA or higher may apply for this scholarship.
