Description

The U.S. Western Digital STEM Scholarship aims to expand access to STEM education by reducing financial barriers and increasing representation of historically underrepresented and underserved students in the STEM field. Students must be transferring from a two-year U.S. community college to a four-year university in pursuit of a STEM degree. Applicants must be pursuing a Bachelor of Science Degree in the field of Engineering, Mathematics, or Science (excluding agricultural, health, and other life sciences). Students who have received two Western Digital Scholarships in the past are ineligible. Preference will be given to first generation college students and/or historically underserved students in the field of Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM) including women and those who self-identify as Black or African American, Hispanic or Latino, or American Indian or Alaska Native. Please visit the scholarship's website for more information.
