NEW SCHOLARSHIP
S-STEM Scholarship for Low-Income Students
WT has received a new S-STEM grant designed to support majors in the Departments of Chemistry/Physics and Life, Earth, Environmental Sciences. A major goal of this NSF funded program is to improve the education of future scientists, engineers, and technicians, with a focus on low income, academically talented students (LIATS). Targeted STEM fields for this project are Biology, Environmental Sciences, Wildlife Biology, Chemistry, and Physics. This program does not support pre-medicine or other pre-clinical degrees (e.g. pre-pharmacy, pre-dental, allied health).
