About this scholarship
oSTEM, the professional society for LGBTQ+ people in STEM, runs an annual scholarship program with general awards of $2,500 for community college students and $5,000 for undergraduate and graduate students, plus partner-sponsored awards from companies such as Ansys and Arup. One general application covers every scholarship for which a student qualifies.
Applicants must be registered oSTEM members (membership is free and open to anyone, including allies), must be pursuing a degree in a science, technology, engineering, or mathematics field, and must be enrolled or planning to enroll at an accredited institution in the USA, Canada, or the UK for the upcoming academic year. GPA is not a requirement for the general awards.
Applications open in mid-April and close in mid-May, with awardees notified in August; personal statements and short essays are required.
