The full four-year scholarships provide academic support and leadership development to increase the numbers of the best and brightest students from underrepresented populations to pursue degrees in STEM. These impressive students positively impact the strength and vitality of the TCU community through their academic achievements, community involvement and commitment to the greater good.
