STEM Scholarships
Support STEM with scholarships
Each year, our NDIA Great Lakes Chapter awards scholarships to students who are seeking a bachelor’s degree in science, technology, engineering, or mathematics (STEM).
This scholarship program is part of a broader NDIA organizational commitment called the Chapter STEM initiative. Through this program, we aim to prepare the Great Lakes region for global competitiveness through enhanced STEM education and career development opportunities for local students. This strategy is executed in cooperation with the NDIA National STEM initiative for the entire United States.
Candidates must submit the following to be considered:
- Completed Scholarship Application Form
