STEM Scholarships for U.S. Students

Avomeen, a contract research organization in Ann Arbor, MI, offers two annual scholarships for students pursuing an undergraduate degree in a STEM field. The scholarships available each year are:

  • Women in STEM (1 scholarship: $2,500)
  • Minorities in STEM (1 scholarship: $2,500)

Students can apply through the Avomeen website. Scholarship applications are evaluated based on two criteria:

  1. A written statement (200 words or less) explaining why the applicant chose to pursue a degree in STEM.

    • For the Women in STEM scholarship, applicants should also mention any organizations they are part of or efforts they have made in their community to support and promote female leadership.
    • For the Minorities in STEM scholarship, applicants should also describe their involvement in organizations or activities that support and promote minority leadership.
  2. Eligibility requirements:

    • Applicants must be pursuing an undergraduate degree at a U.S.-based college or university.
    • For the Women in STEM scholarship, applicants must identify as women.
    • For the Minorities in STEM scholarship, applicants must identify as minorities.

They accept applications each year from October 1 to April 1, with winners notified by May 1. These dates remain the same every year. Share this opportunity with students who might be interested :pray:

Unfortunately, high school juniors aren’t eligible to apply. However, they offer this scholarship every year, so you can apply next year when you’re getting ready to attend a US-based college or university

Hey, I’d like to apply but the application box is grayed out

Why did they decide to make the scholarships based on race and gender? Does having a certain skin color or being female make someone more qualified? The women’s scholarship seems especially strange since 60% of college students are already female—are they aiming for 80%?
