S-STEM Grant
The National Science Foundation awarded the University of St. Thomas a $575,000 grant in 2009 to provide scholarships to undergraduate students obtaining degrees in science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) for five years.
The program provides $100,000 in scholarships each year to approximately 25 STEM students, excluding pre-health majors. These scholarships will support an estimated 125 students over the five year period. The first scholarships were awarded for the fall 2010 semester.
This program, named the University of St. Thomas S-STEM Scholars Program, seeks to increase the number of students graduating in the fields of science, pre-engineering and mathematics. UST aims to reach the diverse communities in the Houston area, and to recruit women and underrepresented groups to the STEM fields. Using successful models established by UST, retention and academic success will be increased among students, particularly first-time college freshmen.
