STEM Scholars Program

This program, funded by the National Science Foundation, supports academically promising students with financial need who are pursuing Bachelor of Science degrees in select science, technology, engineering, and mathematics fields at Bemidji State University. Designed for transfer or returning students with at least sixty credits, the initiative provides financial assistance to cover remaining educational costs after other aid is applied. Beyond financial support, scholars gain access to a dedicated peer and faculty mentoring network, tutoring services, monthly social and professional events, and opportunities to participate in hands-on research projects with faculty. Participants also receive education in emotional intelligence and personal resilience to prepare them for successful careers in high-demand STEM disciplines.
