1st Financial Bank USA wants to celebrate those who recognize the importance of pursuing educational and financial goals with the 1st Financial Bank USA Financial Goals Scholarship.
The VSGC Undergraduate STEM Research Scholarship Program provides awards to students who are enrolled in a program of study in science, technology, engineering, or math (STEM) and have a specific faculty-mentored research project that has NASA or aerospace relevance. Allied Health Sciences majors are not eligible for this program. This is a competitive scholarship program, funded by NASA and the Commonwealth of Virginia contributions, with the goals of promoting undergraduate STEM research while recognizing high academic achievement and promise, increasing participation of underrepresented minorities, females, and students with disabilities in STEM related careers, and implementing the goals of the Virginia Space Grant Consortium and the National Aeronautics and Space Administration. Applicants must be in a program of study demonstrating an interest in STEM and supporting NASA's mission and must not graduate before May 2025. Applicants should submit a proposal for research, with clear research objectives and methodology. A statement written by the student in consultation with the faculty advisor should describe the key elements of the proposed research and plan of study. All research projects must be mentored by a faculty member and this mentor will be required to submit a letter of reference for the project. Applicants will be asked to specifically identify how their research relates to a NASA Mission Directory. Applicants provide the names and contact information for two references of which one must be the applicant's current faculty advisor. Letters of recommendation should assess the applicant's potential as well as their progress and academic achievements. Please visit the scholarship's website or contact the NASA's Virginia Space Grant Consortium for more information.
