Who Can Apply:
- The field of STEAM, encompassing science, technology, engineering, arts, and math, is vital to the flourishing of our communities.
- Unfortunately, STEAM fields are often inaccessible to underrepresented minorities and women. As a white and male-dominated industry, STEAM can be daunting to pursue, with college classrooms and internships often feeling isolating and limited diversity resulting in few mentors from minority backgrounds.
- The E.R.I.C.A Scholarship (Ethnic Researchers Innovating Communities through Achievement) aims to support students who are interested in STEAM and are passionate about making a difference in their communities.
- Any underrepresented minority high school senior or two or four-year undergraduate female student who is pursuing STEAM and has volunteering experience may apply for this scholarship.
Submission: To apply, tell us about your inspiration or passion for one of the STEAM fields – science, technology, engineering, arts, or math.
