Edith Nourse Rogers STEM Scholarship

The Edith NourseRogers STEM Scholarship will provide up to nine months of additional Post-9/11 GI Bill® benefits (or a maximum of $30,000) to qualifying Veterans and Fry Scholars.*

The Edith Nourse Rogers STEM Scholarship is a provision of the Harry W. Colmery Veterans Educational Assistance Act (Forever GI Bill®) that gives extra benefits to students training in the high demand fields of Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math. Training in these areas typically requires more credit hours than other fields. The Rogers STEM Scholarship provides support for this additional training, offering students the opportunity to finish their STEM degree program or teaching certification with significantly less student debt or out-of-pocket costs.
