Apply by June 30, 2024 to win up to $30,000.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The foundation launched the scholarship four years ago to help rural students in their quest of a STEM degree education.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Its mission is to help rural students overcome the unique challenges and financial barriers that stand in the way of their higher education journey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cMany students take a bus for 30 minutes or so to get to high school outside their small towns, and this doesn\u2019t necessarily mean they go to anything that could be called a city,\u201d said founder Jason Wilson. \u201cResources are more scarce in these small towns. For instance, there is a lack of libraries and museums. Finally, incomes are generally fairly low in these rural areas. All these items pose a barrier to entry for students wishing to pursue careers requiring higher education.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Each year, the organization awards up to four scholarships ranging from $10,000 to $30,000 each.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>High school seniors can win up to $30,000, payable over four years. Rising college juniors can win up to $18,000, payable over two years. And rising college seniors can win $10,000.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To qualify for the scholarship, applicants must live in a rural area (a town or city with a population less than 25,000) in the United States. Check <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tun.com\/scholarships\/the-lariat-stem-scholar-program-2\/\">this list<\/a> for eligible zip codes.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Applicants also must come from families with less than $55,000 in household income, be between the ages of 18 and 24, and be pursuing a STEM major. Check <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tun.com\/scholarships\/the-lariat-stem-scholar-program-2\/\">here<\/a> for a full list of eligible STEM majors.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To apply, eligible students must identify their major, submit academic scores and SAT\/ACT scores, and list any academic awards they have received. They must also write an essay of 500 words or more on why they have chosen to pursue a degree in STEM or the lessons they have learned from their part-time jobs, as well as answer three other questions.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Students who meet the criteria can apply <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tun.com\/scholarships\/the-lariat-stem-scholar-program-2\/\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:25px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n<p>[adthrive-in-post-video-player video-id=&#8221;tCXZD6SX&#8221; upload-date=&#8221;2023-10-04T12:22:55.000Z&#8221; name=&#8221;How to Get Scholarships&#8221; description=&#8221;TUN sits down with Sarah Chomette, an eAdviser with the College Advising Corps, to discuss tips on how to get scholarships for college. &#8221; player-type=&#8221;static&#8221;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Lariat Future Innovators Foundation, a nonprofit organization, is currently accepting applications for its 2024 Lariat STEM Scholar Program.
