94 scholarships

$100,000 largest award

Aug 15, 2026 next deadline

Our catalog lists 94 active awards for STEM students — scholarships, grants, fellowships, and other student funding. Awards range up to $100,000. Each listing links to the official application so you always apply through the real sponsor — never a paid middleman.

STEM scholarships and grants often reward more than grades. Professional associations, employers, and university departments fund students who show genuine commitment to the field — through projects, internships, competitions, or community work. Tailor each essay to the sponsor's mission rather than reusing one generic statement.
