The STEM Field Innovation Fund is designed to accelerate the academic and career paths of students committed to Science, Technology, Engineering, or Mathematics. This fund supports individuals who are not only pursuing challenging degrees but are also actively engaged in research, innovation, or specialized projects within their field. The financial assistance is intended to cover costs related to lab fees, specialized equipment, research travel, and tuition, ensuring these future innovators have every resource needed to complete groundbreaking work. We invest in the people who will drive tomorrow's scientific and technical advancements.
This is a specialized merit-based award open exclusively to students enrolled in a qualifying degree program (e.g., Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Biology, Chemistry). Applicants must have completed at least two years of study in their program and demonstrate strong standing in their core major courses. The application requires a research proposal summary (or a detailed career plan if not research-focused), a transcript showing major-specific coursework, and one letter of recommendation from a departmental faculty member. The final application deadline is December 10th.
