This is a last call for applications to the 2025 Lariat STEM Scholar Program.

The Lariat Future Innovators Foundation, a nonprofit organization helping rural students pursue a STEM education, will award up to four scholarships ranging from $10,000 to $30,000 each. 

High school seniors can win up to $30,000, rising college juniors can win up to $18,000, and rising college seniors can win $10,000.

To qualify, applicants must live in a rural area (a town or city with a population less than 25,000) in the United States, come from families with less than $55,000 in household income, be between the ages of 18 and 24, and be pursuing an eligible STEM major. 

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. 

In addition, applicants must also answer three questions about the most defining extracurricular activity they participated in, an adversity they faced and key takeaways from two recent books they’ve read, in 100 words or less.
