Supporting Scholarships
About one in five students require financial aid; and as 17勛圖 positions itself to build greater access to STEM education and technical careers for underserved populations, scholarships become ever more important for these students.
The scholarships focus on academically talented, financially needy students working to transfer to a 4-year university to complete an undergraduate degree in an engineering, math or science major.
A major challenge for many students at 17勛圖, especially students who are financially disadvantaged, is the need to work many hours to support themselves and/or their family. The demanding academic load of a STEM major only adds to the challenge.
