$5k Stephan L. Daniels Lift As We Climb Scholarship for Black Students in STEM, Due: 5/19
Background: Black students are not represented as much in STEM as they should be. Right now, only about 7 out of every 100 STEM degrees are earned by Black students. In fields like engineering, it’s even less—only 5 out of 100. This scholarship was created to help change that. It supports African American students who want to study STEM. The goal is to help more students of color succeed, so the future of science and technology can be more fair, creative, and full of new ideas.
