NSF Chem-STEM Scholarship Program
Applications from incoming chemistry majors are sought for five Chem-STEM scholarships,
up to $5,000 annually ($20,000 total). To be eligible for these National Science Foundation
(NSF) supported scholarships, applicants must be declared chemistry majors or must
be willing to change their major to chemistry. Scholarships will only be awarded for
students with unmet financial need as determined from Winthrop's Cost of Attendance
minus the student's Expected Family Contribution determined from the completed FAFSA,
minus all other grants, scholarships and awards. Application materials, including
the application form, transcript requirement, an essay describing your educational
and career goals and applicant recommendation form can be found at the Chem-STEM website.
Eagle STEM Scholarship Program
Winthrop's Eagle STEM Scholars Program educates and trains undergraduate biochemistry
and chemistry students for direct matriculation into biomedical science and chemistry
PhD programs or for direct entry into graduate health professional schools. Selected
scholars are first-generation undergraduate college students with financial need or
members of groups traditionally underrepresented in the sciences. The ultimate goal
of the Eagle STEM Scholars program is to increase the number of doctoral degree awards
for students from underrepresented segments of society. More information and application
materials can be found at the Eagle STEM website.
