STEM Scholarship
To apply for STEM scholarship and for more information, visit: http://barudolphfoundation.org/stem-scholarship/
The Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) Scholarship is intended for female undergraduate students preparing to enter a profession in the sciences, who are applying to or have secured an unpaid or underpaid summer position (internship, fellowship, research assistantship, etc.) in a related field.
Applicants must be rising juniors, seniors, or be recent college graduates (graduated no more than 10 months from the application deadline). There is no requirement regarding the applicant’s major or focus of study, as long as the summer position focuses on STEM. Positions can be of any type (internship, fellowship, research assistantship, etc.) and take place in a variety of environments (i.e. research lab or project, nonprofit organization, hospital/clinic, etc.), as long as the position is unpaid or underpaid and directly related to the sciences. The summer position may be located anywhere in the United States or territories. We anticipate accepting four applicants each year as scholarship recipients, or “scholars.” This number may be adjusted according to the volume of applications received.
The intention of the scholarship is to cover the cost of living and some travel expenses for those who otherwise would not be able to afford such an opportunity. Applicants must therefore demonstrate financial need in their application.
The financial award consists of $1,600 per month (4 weeks) for the length of the individual’s summer position, and therefore will be calculated for each accepted scholar. Each scholar is assigned at least one mentor to lend guidance on entering and navigating her profession. Additionally, the Foundation will informally connect the scholar with others that we feel would be useful contacts outside of the assigned mentor(s), as another opportunity for networking within her chosen profession or interest.
The B.A. Rudolph Foundation is committed to the principle of diversity in all areas. In that spirit, we are particularly dedicated to reaching applicants from a broad spectrum of qualified people. Applicants with diverse backgrounds, experiences, ability and perspectives are encouraged to apply.
Eligibility Criteria:
- Female or identifies as female.
- Either entering Junior or Senior year of college following the summer position OR a recent graduate (graduated no more than 10 months from the application deadline).
- Applied or accepted to a summer position in a STEM field.
- Commencing position on or after May 1st, completing no later than September 30th of the same year, and lasting at least five weeks (applicants with positions starting shortly before May 1, or ending shortly after September 30 may apply, but the majority of the experience must occur over the summer, and be considered a summer opportunity, not spring or fall). The Foundation will fund a maximum of 12 weeks of the scholar’s summer position.
- All positions must be full-time (at least 30 hours per week).
2018 Dates and Deadlines
- February 1: Begin accepting all applications
- April 4: STEM Scholarship applications are due by Wednesday, April 4, 11:59 PM, EST
- April 28-29: STEM Interviews (by phone)
- May 2: STEM Notifications
