At STEM Greenhouse, we are committed to growing STEM proficiency in vulnerable children to cultivate education and career success. However, we recognize that for many individuals, financial, cultural, and educational barriers can stand in the way of achieving their goals.
That’s where STEM scholarships come in. By providing financial support and resources to those who might not otherwise have the opportunity to pursue a STEM education, these scholarships can help reduce barriers and increase diversity and inclusivity in these fields. And, when we have a more diverse STEM workforce, we all benefit.
