FOSSI Scholarship

The FOSSI scholarship supports graduating senior students who are seeking a degree in an approved chemical and engineering STEM-related field. Students who demonstrate academic achievement and who are planning to attend an HBCU are welcome to apply. FOSSI funds 4-year scholarships of $10,000 per year for students majoring in STEM related fields at Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs). Additionally, FOSSI connects students to leadership development, mentoring and internship opportunities at participating companies. Applicants must: Be a citizen or legal permanent resident of the United States; Complete or have completed high school with a minimum GPA of 3.0 on a 4.0 scale (unweighted) and be entering their freshman year of college; Pursue studies in a pertinent chemical and engineering industry STEM field; Attend an HBCU for the entirety of their college education; Have interest in pursuing a career in chemical manufacturing, engineering, environmental health and sustainability or other related chemical-industry fields; Demonstrate financial need. The FOSSI scholarship can be used for tuition and university-provided room and board. A student may accept additional scholarships but they cannot exceed the total cost of their education. The multi-year scholarship will be reviewed annually and is contingent upon satisfactory academic performance (maintaining a 2.5 out of 4.0 GPA) in a full-time course of STEM study at an HBCU.
