About the Scholarship

The National Science Foundation (NSF) recently awarded Indiana Wesleyan University a $1.3 million S-STEM grant that will contribute to the national need for well-educated scientists by supporting high-achieving students with demonstrated financial need at IWU.

Students will be intentionally supported in a cohort model with STEM-oriented best practices. A distinctive of the program is a two semester first-year course aimed toward intentionally developing science identity in students while reducing barriers in challenging first year science courses.
