STEM Opportunity Fund

The STEM Opportunity Fund was created with a focus on advancing equity and representation in STEM fields. It aims to help students who are underrepresented in their STEM fields connect to organizations and resources beyond campus to support their academic careers and provide mentorship and community. Students can apply for financial support through Gold for Blugolds.

Students who are awarded the funds are expected to reflect on and share their experiences. Students can use this funding to apply for membership in professional organizations with support for undergraduates or attendance at conferences.

To apply, students can check out the Gold for Blugolds site and search for the STEM Opportunity Fund in the list of applications. You will need to log in to complete the application. You can expect to fill out background information, details about what opportunity you are interested in and estimated expenses, and short answers.

You can find the template needed for itemized expense estimates here. If you have questions about this fund, please contact Creanna Cote at cotecm@uwec.edu.
