STEPS Scholarships

Abraham Baldwin Agricultural College offers the STEPS Scholarships to support students who participate in engaged learning experiences. Eligible activities include internships, mentored research, and study abroad opportunities designed to enhance a student's overall educational experience. To be considered for this funding, applicants must submit their scholarship application at least 60 days prior to the start of the engaged learning experience. The college uses an online platform called Scholarship Universe to manage its application process, which students can access through their student portal. While the general foundation scholarships at the institution require a single application and often consider financial need, students interested in the STEPS program must pay attention to the specific timing of their planned activities. Applicants should complete the FAFSA to establish financial need if they wish to be considered for need-based aid at the institution, though this specific award focuses on the student's participation in qualifying hands-on learning experiences.
