S-STEM

Scholarships for Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics

The acronym STEM stands for Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics. Careers in the STEM fields have been spotlighted in the last decade. Being a STEM major gives a student confidence in landing a job, because graduates are in high demand.

If you are interested in one of the STEM fields, and you are thinking of earning a STEM degree, you may qualify for some extra financial support for tuition during the next semester. One of your options is the  Texas Woman's University's Scholarships in STEM (S-STEM) Program. This special TWU scholarship program is funded by the National Science Foundation and targets STEM majors.

These programs will provide scholarships in amounts up to $10,000/yr to students majoring in STEM fields who wish to pursue a STEM career path and also demonstrate both academic potential and financial need.
