STEM SCHOLARSHIPS
The Dr. Montakhab Foundation Scholarship is awarded annually to qualifying candidates. To be eligible, a candidate must be enrolled full time at an accredited university or college where they are pursuing a degree in Science, Technology, Engineering, or Mathematics (STEM). Candidates must also be refugees.
Refugee Status: Any person forced to flee their country because of violence or persecution meets our definition of a refugee, regardless of current legal status.
How to Qualify: Candidates who meet our requirements are invited to apply for aid by filling out a short application form and composing a brief (700 word) essay.
