The Green Gift Scholarship

The Green Gift scholarship is intended to help support graduate students pursuing an advanced degree in STEM. We recognize the pressure pursuing an advanced degree can place on a student and look to alleviate some of that strain. A one-time scholarship of $500 will be granted to 10 applicants to cover tuition, fees, books, and other required educational expenses for the Fall of 2025. With the Green Gift Scholarship, we aim to lessen the burden of educational expenses and increase access to cutting-edge skills.
