“Motivated to Educate Scholarship”

The research makes it clear: We need to change the culture in STEM. We need to redefine what a scientist looks like in society. The number of girls interested in STEM increases when they have female role models to inspire them and help them envision themselves in these roles.

This scholarship is designed to encourage female African American, Latinx, or first-generation college students to pursue a career in science, technology, engineering and/or mathematics. We seek exceptional high school graduating seniors or current college students interested in STEM.
