To be eligible for the GMiS STEM Scholarship, applicants must: demonstrate merit through academic achievements, leadership and campus/community activities; be pursuing a science, technology, engineering or math degree; have a 3.0 GPA (applicants may have a 2.5 GPA for non-merit-based donor scholarships); be of Hispanic descent and/or must demonstrate significant leadership or service within the underserved community; and be enrolled (full-time or part-time) at an accredited 2-yr or 4-yr college/university in the U.S. or its territories. This is open to both undergraduates and graduate students.
The intent of the GMiS Scholars Program is to increase the persistence to graduation among underrepresented and underserved STEM college students. The financial support helps these students focus on their coursework so they can graduate on time, enter a STEM profession, continue to serve as a role model for future generations, and secure the country's place as the finest technological leader in the world.
