Beginning in January 2024, the Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics Scholars (STEMS) Program will provide scholarship funds, up to $10,000 per student per academic year, for students in non-clinical/healthcare STEM fields with demonstrated unmet financial need.
Scholarship applications will be available here September 2023.
This program, funded through a $1.5 million grant from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Scholarship in STEM program in 2023, seeks to increase the number of qualified STEM majors entering graduate school and/or the STEM work force.
The STEMS Program aims to assist STEM majors in completing their degree by providing scholarships along with research-based support practices, including:
This seminar course (STEM 1000) is offered every fall and spring semester on the Gainesville and Dahlonega campuses and is open to all students at UNG.
This seminar course is designed to provide information necessary to help students make informed decisions about their major and career aspirations in Science, Engineering, Technology, and Mathematics (STEM) fields as well as with the knowledge and skills necessary to succeed in that major. Information regarding careers in STEM fields, resources that are available to STEM majors as well as many opportunities to learn about and acquire skills needed to succeed in a STEM field will be provided.
All students will have the opportunity to:
