Program Overview 

We are excited to be part of the National Science Foundation (NSF) Scholarship program for Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (S-STEM).  This program aims to increase the success of low-income, academically talented students who have demonstrated financial need who are pursuing degrees in Engineering and Computing with an interest in advanced manufacturing. 

In addition to receiving a scholarship, the S-STEM Scholars will receive regular faculty mentoring, and will be able to access internship opportunities and other professional development activities. S-STEM activities will also include mentor meetings, participation in the ACE or Spirit Strong Mentoring program, professional development seminars, and social events dedicated to help support students throughout their time at 萝莉社.
