Scholarships Award STEM Majors



Your vision of science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) majors may be one of mad scientists in white lab coats, vials of bubbling concoctions, or safety goggles and pocket protectors—but as times change, so do the visions of what these important areas of study entail and produce. 

As our society becomes increasingly environmentally aware, health conscious, and reliant on technology, STEM majors are playing more prominent roles in their communities and on an international scale. Both the public and private sectors are clamoring for more American students to pursue degrees and careers in STEM related fields, including environmental science, cleanenergy, exercise science, among others. And, as a result, everyone from private organizations to the federal government is offering attractive STEM scholarships and grants.


The SMART Scholarship (Science, Mathematics & Research for Transformation), established by the Department of Defense, offers a huge incentive for STEM majors studying in the United States by covering full tuition and education-related fees, offering paid summer internships, a health insurance reimbursement, mentoring and more.
