Science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) disciplines are flourishing. According to the श्रम सांख्यिकी अमेरिकी ब्यूरो, STEM professionals earned a median annual salary of $95,420 in 2021. That totals more than double the median salary for non-STEM employees. 

But you typically must earn a college degree to access STEM's most lucrative jobs. Many students rely on loans to pay for college. The शिक्षा डेटा पहल reports the average student loan debt totals almost $37,700.

To reduce your costs, you can apply for federal student aid, राज्य कार्यक्रम, or STEM scholarships. 

Below you can find numerous merit, academic, and identity-based scholarships for STEM students. We have separated them into lists for each STEM category. Though the 2022 deadlines for some have passed, we chose popular programs likely to open for new applicants in 2023.
