Scholarships, Mentorships, and More!

Sally Ride Club presents: a list of resources for young people in STEM! While some cater towards the LGBT+ and underrepresented groups, others are more general. LGBT and URM-specific programs are marked with an *asterisk. We recommend doing research into the programs to figure out if they’re right for you!
