STEM STARs project

Students in Engineering at the University of South Alabama

 

Identify scholars who will strive for success. Build a community in which they thrive. Support them to achieve academic excellence. Mentor them to realize their goals of STEM careers.

This project will contribute to the national need for well-educated scientists, mathematicians, engineers, and technicians by supporting the retention and graduation of high-achieving students with demonstrated financial need at the University of South Alabama, Bishop State Community College, and Coastal Alabama Community College.

The STEM STARs Scholarship, a specialized scholarship program for high-achieving students, can significantly offset the overall cost of your attendance. The STEM STARs Scholarship covers unmet need after other scholarships and grants are applied, up to a total of $15,000 per year, and is renewable for up to four more years. The program also provides mentorship, engagement with other scholars, and additional support in the foundational math courses.

The Program is specifically reserved for incoming students who intend to pursue a degree in Engineering, Mathematics, Chemistry, or Physics; have demonstrated academic excellence; and have documented financial need based on federal Pell Grant eligibility. Applications are considered only from students invited to apply.
