Zenefits Advancing Women in STEM Scholarship

Posted on by

Women earn almost 60% of all bachelor’s degrees in the United States, but they earn only 20% of computer science degrees, 20% of physics degrees, and 18% of engineering degrees. And estimates show that by 2018, the U.S. will face a shortage of more than one million STEM workers. This presents an enormous opportunity to better support young women in pursuing STEM-related careers, and Zenefits is committed to being part of the solution.

Deadline: Applications will be accepted until December 31, 2015. The name of the winner will be posted on zenefits.com/scholarship on or around January 15, 2016.

Award Amount:

  • $6,000

Eligibility:

To be eligible for this scholarship, you must be a woman who:

  • Is currently enrolled as a full-time college student in the United States
  • Has completed at least one full academic year of college with a GPA of 3.0 or above
  • Is pursuing a degree related to science, technology, mathematics, or engineering; and
