Overview
The Maple Scholars program was established through a five-year grant of $598,000 from the National Science Foundation (NSF) to provide need-based scholarships for academically talented students. The project is designed to recruit and retain more students in the sciences—specifically science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM)—from groups which are traditionally underrepresented in these fields. Recipients are prepared for their careers through integrative learning opportunities including a summer research program, a weekly Science Speaker series, and an annual Undergraduate Research Symposium.
