    • Community College Scholarship

    The Community College Scholarship is aimed at supporting the STEM pipeline and strengthen underrepresented minority participation in STEM. The number of awards will be limited and will require NMSGC affiliate community college students to work with a mentor at their home institutions and a mentor at a four-year university to ensure continuity of the higher education path. Scholarship funding: $1,000 per semester for up to two semesters.

    Current high school and dual-credit students are not eligible to apply. See eligibility and scholarship requirements below.

    The application will open January 16, 2023 and will close on April 10, 2023.

    If you apply, the letter of recommendation by your faculty advisor must also be submitted by April 10.
