The National Science Foundation<\/a> has awarded the University of Hawaiʻi<\/span> at Hilo<\/a> a $622,175 grant to support the Scholarships for STEM Program (S-STEM<\/abbr><\/a>), which provides scholarships for academically talented, economically disadvantaged high school seniors who major in one of the following STEM (science, technology, engineering, mathematics) disciplines–astronomy, biology, chemistry, computer science, environmental science, geology, marine science, mathematics and physics. The application deadline is April 15, 2015.<\/p>\n

Raina Ivanova<\/strong>, 东精影业<\/abbr> Hilo professor of mathematics, principal investigator and director of the program, said, “The S-STEM<\/abbr> Program will provide much needed support for our deserving students who have demonstrated academic potential, but due to financial difficulties might not be able to consider a college degree. We are excited to be able to help our talented youth and enable them to pursue meaningful careers in STEM here in Hawaiʻi<\/span>.”<\/p>\n

S-STEM<\/abbr> Program details<\/h2>\n

The S-STEM<\/abbr> Program will provide each scholar with a $20,000 scholarship for four years of undergraduate studies (up to $5,000 per year), provided that the student maintains good academic standing and remains a STEM major. The program will also integrate and expand existing educational services for STEM students at 东精影业<\/abbr> Hilo.<\/p>\n

Students will be selected on the basis of academic potential, motivation and interest in the STEM disciplines, as indicated by their high school GPA<\/abbr>, standardized test scores, a letter stating interests and letters of reference. <\/p>\n
