Please encourage your Pell-eligible students to apply for an exciting new scholarship opportunity!
The S-STEM Husky PAWS (Pathways for Academic Wellness and Success) Scholarship Program awards one-year finishing scholarships for Pell students (determined by the Federal Pell Grant Program) majoring in the College of Engineering, College of Computing or in physics/applied physics who are completing their bachelor’s degrees or accelerated master’s degrees. This scholarship is awarded for one year, up to $15,000 for bachelor’s students and $20,000 for master’s students.
The S-STEM Husky PAWS Scholarship Program has three goals:
- To elevate each student’s assets, which include the unique and valuable skills, knowledge and resiliency derived from their familial and community experiences.
- To foster a sense of belonging.
- To increase retention and graduation rates for STEM students who have demonstrated financial need.
These scholarships are made possible through funding from the National Science Foundation’s Scholarships in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (S-STEM) program, which seeks to support the recruitment, retention and graduation of academically talented low-income students. (Note: Apply for the finishing fellowship with the application form below; do not follow the embedded link on the webpage.)
Students can apply for an S-STEM finishing fellowship by completing the S-STEM Finishing Fellowship Husky PAWS Scholarship Application. This application is due April 26 by 5 p.m. EDT.
In addition to the financial scholarship support, Husky PAWS includes a variety of professional development programming throughout the academic year to support student graduation and career success.
