Ready to take your IWU education beyond the traditional STEM experience? As a STEM Scholar, you’ll join a cohort of engaged students, work closely with faculty and grow in every part of life, grounded in faith and guided by a desire to serve others.
Open to incoming and current students in any STEM major, the program builds on what you learn in class. Every scholar takes part in community seminars, enrichment experiences, and leadership and service opportunities across the School of STEM. You’ll also complete a faculty-mentored research or design project, then present your work to a faculty panel and your peers at the Celebration of Scholarship.
At IWU STEM, our cutting-edge programs and high-impact learning experiences provide students with meaningful Faculty mentorship that builds confidence, strengthens their Christian identity, and equips them to grow as scientists and servant leaders.
