The Community College STEM Scholarship provides a one-year, non-renewable award of $2,000 for students enrolled full time during the award period at one of Virginia’s Community Colleges. Students must be majoring in a science, technology, engineering, or math (STEM) field and be interested in pursuing a career that supports NASA’s mission including careers in the aerospace sector.
If you're a current freshman enrolled full-time at a Virginia community college in your second semester, you could qualify. This award is for your sophomore year. You should be enrolled in a STEM-related major with at least a 3.0 GPA.
To apply, you will need to submit an online application and required documents to VSGC—this scholarship requires a personal statement and two letters of recommendation. Applications are due March 12, and letters of recommendation March 19.
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.
2-year colleges are sometimes referred to as community colleges and junior colleges. A 2-year college provides two-year programs, such as Associate's degrees. You can also transfer from a 2-year college to a 4-year college.
