STEM Scholarships for Teens

A STEM education from a college or university is indispensable to a student’s career. The ability to work on projects with like minded peers and the opportunity to connect with established figures in the STEM world are just a few of the benefits that can come with attending a program like the ones listed in our guides. 

Additionally, in most STEM fields, higher education is not optional. Many STEM jobs require a bachelor’s degree for even an entry-level position, and higher-paying occupations may require even more schooling. 

However, like in all disciplines, the cost of higher education in STEM is only growing more expensive. That’s why we’ve put together this list of STEM scholarships for teens. 

Some of the scholarships listed here have deadlines quickly approaching or require specific prerequisites for application, so be sure to read the terms of the scholarship fully before applying. We also encourage you to seek out opportunities closer to home, as many local communities have STEM scholarships available to students from their area.

Additionally, if you’ve already applied to a college or university, be sure to inquire about whether or not they have any STEM-specific scholarships available. 

Take a look and start applying today! Scholarships with the earliest deadlines are listed first.
