Eligibility Key
To fit as much info as we can, we're using shorthand to describe the most common eligibility requirements for these opportunities. Different categories will be separated by a slash. For example, a scholarship that is open to Hispanic/Latinx high school seniors who will pursue a STEM degree in college would have UR / HS12 / STEM at the top.
- 18+ = students who are 18 years or older; if a different minimum age is specified, number before + will reflect that
- $ = students who demonstrate financial need
- CCCU = students attending an accredited 2- or 4-year community college, college or university
- CU = students attending an accredited 4-year college or university
- F = students who are women or another gender underrepresented in STEM
- G = graduate school students
- HS9-12 = high school students, any grade (9-12)
- HS12 = high school seniors; HS11 for juniors
- MC = MATHCOUNTS alumni
- O = some other eligibility requirement specific to the scholarship
- STEM = students majoring in a science, technology, engineering or math field; if specific STEM field required, associated letter will be underlined in "STEM"
