Who Can Apply:
- Students from immigrant families often face significant challenges that can put them behind in school or in the job market.
- Immigrant students bear the responsibilities of intense language learning, adapting to cultural expectations, navigating unfamiliar systems, and often lacking the built-in support networks that others have. Students who rise to the occasion and succeed in the face of these obstacles must work extremely hard and be dedicated to their studies.
- This scholarship aims to support women from immigrant families who are passionate about pursuing higher education.
- Any female high school senior or undergraduate student in her first two years of college may apply for this scholarship opportunity if she is pursuing STEM with at least a 3.0 GPA and if she is from an immigrant family (first or second generation). Applicants should demonstrate resilience and responsibility, exhibit resourcefulness through their struggles, and use their immigrant background as a source of strength and perspective. Students attending the Florida Institute of Technology are especially encouraged to apply.
Submission: To apply, tell us about a significant struggle you’ve faced, how you’ve shown resourcefulness in overcoming it, and how this experience has impacted you as a student and future professional. Additionally, upload an image that you feel is relevant to your essay.
