The National Science Foundation (NSF) recently awarded Indiana Wesleyan University a $1.3 million S-STEM grant. According to a press release, this is the largest NSF grant in IWU’s history.
These funds will contribute to the national need for well-educated scientists by supporting the retention and graduation of high-achieving, low-income students with demonstrated financial need at Indiana Wesleyan University. The grant will provide scholarships of up to $40,000 over four years to 24 academically talented STEM undergraduate students. Students selected for the scholarship can receive up to $10,000 per year for four years. Students must major in biology, biochemistry, chemistry, or physics; have an interest in studying non-clinical fields in science, and demonstrate financial need as determined by the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA).
