Edith Nourse Rogers STEM Scholarship

The Edith Nourse Rogers STEM Scholarship, provided by Veterans Affairs, offers additional funding to help students complete their education in high-demand fields. This program is designed for Veterans, service members, or Fry Scholars who have 6 months or less of Post-9/11 GI Bill or Fry Scholarship benefits remaining. To qualify, applicants must be enrolled in an undergraduate STEM program and have completed at least 60 credit hours. Alternatively, individuals who have already earned a STEM degree may qualify if they are enrolled in a teaching certification program or a covered clinical training program.

The scholarship provides up to 9 months (or $30,000) of benefits. Unlike traditional financial aid programs, this award is managed directly by Veterans Affairs and does not require the FAFSA or state financial aid applications to determine eligibility. Instead, applicants apply directly through the Veterans Affairs online portal, and approved recipients must verify their monthly enrollment to receive their housing allowance and other benefits.
