STEM Scholarships

STEM Scholarships

Scholarships provide students with opportunities to attend college, advance their knowledge and skills for workforce preparedness, and help them prepare for both academic opportunities and financial challenges after transfer.

You can apply for Foothill College sponsored scholarships and scholarships offered through outside organizations.

Tips and Strategies

Internet Search

First, SLI is keeping a running spreadsheet of scholarship and internship opportunities and deadlines by month. This is a dynamic sheet, so bookmark it in your browser and come back from time to time.

Another good start for finding STEM internships is to do an internet search with the following key terms:

  • "STEM scholarships for community college students"
  • "undergraduate student scholarships in STEM"
  • "STEM scholarships for x group" (x = any specific identity such as "women," "Latino/a/x," or "Black/ African American")
