SYRACUSE — SRC, Inc. and C&S Companies, in partnership with the CNY STEM Hub, have announced the 2015 CNY STEM Scholars Program.
The program, now in its third year, is open to graduating high-school seniors who will be majoring in a science, technology, engineering, or mathematics (STEM) field.
This year’s scholarship program will provide tuition support of up to $2,500 per year and a guaranteed summer internship at SRC, Inc. or C&S Companies, according to a news release issued by SRC on Dec. 16. Eight scholarships will be awarded, with up to three given to minority and female applicants.
There is no financial eligibility requirement. Applicants must have at least a 3.0 GPA, be a Central New York resident (living in the following counties: Onondaga, Cayuga, Madison, Cortland, Oneida, Oswego, and Tompkins), and be starting a degree program in the fall of 2015, the release stated. Students attending a college or university in New York state and students intending to study in certain STEM fields will be given preference during the selection process. Scholarship recipients will be chosen based on academic merit, activities, and application responses.
“SRC has been amazed with the level of the students applying for these scholarships in the past.
