ACCESS S-STEM Scholarship
The Academic Collaboration and Coordination Model to Ensure Student Success in STEM (ACCESS STEM) partnership has earned the National Science Foundation’s Scholarships in STEM (S-STEM) grant to provide scholarships to students at St. Cloud State and four partnering Minnesota State community colleges.
The five-year $5 million project recruits and supports at least 100 academically high-achieving Pell-eligible students. Forty of whom will receive a four-year scholarship of up to $9,000 per year while attending St. Cloud State and 60 who will receive a two-year scholarship of up to $7,500 while attending an ACCESS community college.
St. Cloud State and partnering community colleges work with the ACCESS STEM scholars on career pathways exploration, helping students find internships and jobs within STEM fields.
The institutions also provide academic support services to ACCESS STEM scholars including tutoring and instruction on research methods.
