ABOUT THE STEM SCHOLARSHIP

GOAL & OBJECTIVES

The overarching goal is to increase the number of students who transfer and (at minimum) complete a bachelor’s degree in a STEM discipline by offering, on a competitive basis, scholarships to financially needy students who have shown academic aptitude to succeed in a STEM degree.

The objectives are to:

Alleviate economic burdens of financially needy college students, while improving students’ educational opportunities.
Increase retention, success rates and degree completion by offering supplemental instruction, tutoring, workshops, and academic/career advisement with counselors and faculty mentors.
Increase the number of skilled STEM students ready to succeed in technical areas of national need by increasing their competitiveness to participate in research and internship experiences within 4-year institutions, industry, and/or national labs, while at the community college.
