Explore how NSHSS helps students succeed

POSTED ON Jan 03, 2025

The NSHSS Foundation offers STEM scholarships aimed at underrepresented groups to help reduce financial barriers for individuals aspiring to pursue careers in science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) fields.

Candidates must demonstrate a strong desire to major in or pursue an engineering degree in various disciplines, including aeronautical, astronautical, chemical, civil, electrical, materials science, mechanical, nuclear, and ocean engineering.

Applicants are required to submit a letter of recommendation along with a personal statement of 500 to 800 words that addresses the following prompt: “Why STEM? How have you demonstrated a dedicated passion for the STEM field throughout your high school career?”

Additionally, United Planet, a partner of the NSHSS Foundation, has announced three distinct scholarship opportunities:

One full scholarship for any Short-Term Volunteer Abroad or Internship Abroad Quest (1 to 3 weeks).

Five scholarships of $500 each for any Short-Term or Long-Term Volunteer Abroad and Internship Abroad Quest (ranging from 1 week to 1 year).

Five scholarships of $250 each for any Virtual Volunteer and Internship Quest (lasting 1 to 6 months).

Applicants may apply for any or all of these scholarships; however, only one scholarship will be awarded per individual. The submission deadline is March 1, 2025.
