Why Scholarships Matter


Opening Doors. Creating Opportunities. Building the Future.



A passion for STEM should never be limited by financial barriers.


Every scholarship we award represents more than tuition assistance—it is an investment in a future engineer, scientist, physician, cybersecurity expert, researcher, or technology leader.


Our scholars are talented young women with the drive to solve problems, improve lives, and shape the future. Your support helps ensure they have the opportunity to pursue those dreams.

Voices of our Scholars

"This scholarship will support my transition to the University of Pennsylvania, where I plan to continue exploring neuroscience, human behavior, and healthcare. It will help ease the financial burden of higher education and allow me to focus on taking advantage of research opportunities, mentorship experiences, and academic challenges that will prepare me for a career dedicated to helping others."

- LEIYA

“I am now the first generation of my family to ever have the ability to go to college after graduating high school. I truly appreciate the STEM for Her scholarship aiding me in being able to continue to pursue my childhood dreams of being a powerhouse in the STEM career field.”

- SOFIA

"Receiving this scholarship not only provides financial relief as I study engineering at VA Tech, but it also motivates me to give these years my all. Knowing that I’m being supported by an organization built on helping young women enter the STEM field boosts me even more. I’m so grateful to have received this scholarship so I can study mechanical engineering, a field with little female representation."

- GIANA

“The STEM for Her scholarship has broadened my educational opportunities and has encouraged me to continue being a curious and eager learner… This scholarship has extended my university options to those out-of-state… and gives me the opportunity to spend more time learning and innovating in college rather than balancing several work shifts, extracurricular activities,

and classes.”

- SOPHIE

"Because of this, I will be given the blessing of an affordable education,something my parents weren’t given, which led me to be a first-generation student. It will help me pay tuition to attend the U. of MD, a school that I have looked forward to attending since I started HS. This award would mean I can finally stop worrying about how to pay for my next semester and put all my focus on my dream of becoming a Cosmetic Chemist."
