What is ENLISTEM?

ENLISTEM is a program that provides scholarships to educate students and nurture leadership in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) fields.

The goal of the ENLISTEM Scholarship Program is to provide improved educational opportunities for students by improving student support programs for STEM participants and by removing financial barriers that higher education often presents. The program awards approximately 32 scholarships each year to academically talented students who demonstrate financial need, and who are enrolled in a course of study leading to an associate degree in a STEM discipline.
