The Bernard Harris Math and Science Scholarship provides $5,000 to African American and Hispanic students currently completing their senior year of high school at a member district of the Council of the Great City Schools. To qualify, you must be accepted for full‐time enrollment at a four-year college or university and pursue a degree in Science, Technology, Engineering, or Mathematics. To apply, you will have to submit a list of STEM courses taken, two one-page essays, and recommendation letters.
Essay
Capture your unique story and ambitions, while writing about the required subject matter.
A letter of recommendation (letter of rec) is a letter written by someone in your life who can speak to your achievements, positive traits, and potential. It's basically a summary of why you're great and deserve the scholarship or funding you're applying for! Typically, students ask teachers, mentors, coaches, or employers (never family or friends). FYI: You have to ask someone to write a letter of rec for you.
Letters of recommendation typically come from teachers, counselors, coaches, leaders in groups you're a part of—basically any person who knows you well and is NOT a family member.
To increase your chances of getting a scholarship, apply early, follow all application instructions, and write a great scholarship essay (if applicable)! For more help, ask a Mos advisor!
