About the Program
The NSF STEM Scholarship Program
at HCC is a system program. Students
taking classes at any of the HCC
campuses can apply for this program.
The support for this program comes through a grant
that was awarded by the National Science Foundation.
The goal of the program is to increase the number of
students majoring in science, technology, engineering
and mathematics (STEM).
The NSF STEM Scholarship Program will recruit 30
students a semester into an Associate of Science and
Associate of Applied Science with the objective of
graduating at least 80% of the participants and transferring
to a baccalaureate degree program at a four-year institution.
The STEM Scholarship Program is an academic excellence
program that offers educational, financial and career support
opportunities. It requires participation in a special workshop
series designed to optimize academic performance in key
STEM courses.
Students are encouraged to apply for the scholarship to
receive financial support and become part of a "virtual cohort"
of a small group of NSF Scholars, Faculty Advisors and
Student Support Staff.
