The UHD Scholars Academy (SA) is an academically, competitive program in the College of Sciences and Technology (CST) that promotes scholarship and student success for UHD undergraduate students majoring in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM). We aim to increase the number of students graduating with degrees in the STEM fields, as well as the number of students pursuing graduate and professional degrees.
The UHD Scholars Academy offers a high-quality education through smaller classes, faculty mentoring, modern labs, hands-on experience and flexible course options. Scholars have the opportunity to participate in special extracurricular activities, research internships, community service and STEM-related seminars/field trips. Each student is awarded a scholarship on average of $3,000 - $4,000 per academic year. Summer stipends are also granted for research participation. In addition, Academy members may apply and receive additional financial assistance, such as the TEXAS grant and Hispanic Scholarship Fund. Completion of the FAFSA is required (where citizenship status allows).
