After a hugely successful inaugural year, LabRoots launches the 2018 scholarship program with a series of three scholarships for students seeking STEM degrees.

This is a merit-based scholarship open to high school seniors and students currently enrolled in graduate or undergraduate programs. Applicants must be interested in pursuing a degree in any of the STEM fields.

It will fund one student for one year, awarding $3,000 to assist with costs associated with their academic pursuits, including tuition, research projects, travel, training, and other costs.

Interested students can apply here, now through April 30.

The LabRoots scholarship committee will review all applicants, notifying the winner no later than June 1 via email.

To apply, students need only submit their resume, CV or transcript, accompanied by a 250-word essay.

In 2017, the first year of the scholarship program, LabRoots received more than 3,000 applicants.

This scholarship program aims to encourage and develop students’ interest in STEM and prolong research goals.
