The American Indian College Fund on Thursday announced a new scholarship program for women earning college degrees in the STEM fields of science, technology, engineering, and math.

The four-year, $300,000 grant will “help grow the number of Native American women – a group with the lowest representation in the STEM fields,” the Denver-based Fund said in a statement.

The Clare Boothe Luce Program at the Henry Luce Foundation, which donated the money, will enable grants of $75,000 to four college-age women seeking bachelor’s degrees at tribal colleges and universities.

“Indigenous people possess great science, mathematical and engineering knowledge and have been remarkably adaptive to technologies,” said Cheryl Crazy Bull, president and CEO of the Fund. “Supporting Indigenous women, who have been underrepresented in STEM fields, as they pursue STEM degrees, honors that knowledge and helps us to contribute to modern society.”

The deadline to apply is May 31. The Fund, founded in 1989, awarded $7.72 million from scholarships to 3,900 American Indian students during the 2018-2019 school year, and more than $208 total million since its inception.
