600+ Great STEM Scholarships You Can Apply for in 2023

STEM Scholarships

STEM is an acronym for Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math. STEM Scholarships are a form of financial assistance and do not usually need to be repaid.

There are plenty of STEM-related jobs available but not enough qualified applicants to fill those jobs. In an effort to increase the number of qualified workers in the workforce, many companies, organizations, and foundations provide STEM scholarships to encourage students to pursue STEM majors. There are STEM Scholarships specifically to help women and underrepresented students succeed in these traditionally underrepresented disciplines. There is an increasing number of Stem Scholarships for Females and minority students.

STEM awards and scholarships range in value from $500-$15,000 or more. Students who apply for STEM Scholarships must be enrolled in a major or program related to the STEM fields. Some STEM scholarships may accept applicants in different majors such as business or literature and will have specific eligibility requirements and deadlines. You can find specific eligibility requirements on the scholarship providers website or application form.

Here are 20 general STEM Scholarships below you can apply for this year. Plus our guide to over 600 discipline-specific scholarships:
