The Community College STEM Scholarship provides a one-year award to students enrolled during the award period at one of Virginia's community colleges. Students must be majoring in a science, technology, engineering, or math (STEM) field and be interested in pursuing a career that supports NASA's mission including careers in the aerospace sector. Allied Health Sciences majors are not eligible for this program. Students must apply during their second semester of freshman year of community college enrollment for an award that will begin in the sophomore year. This is a competitive scholarship program based on academic merit funded by NASA and the Commonwealth of Virginia recognizing high academic achievement and promise. Applicants must submit the names and contact information for two references of which one must be the applicant's current faculty advisor. Letters of recommendation should assess the applicant's technical and/or academic potential as well as their progress and academic achievements.
