Description
The African American Leadership Society (AALS) STEM Scholarship Program has established a pipeline of Black students from South Hampton Roads who, at the university level, major in Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM) and aim to become leaders in their field. To date, we have awarded 375 local students with STEM scholarships totaling $1.6 million in scholarship funds to support both the education of our STEM scholars and our mission to reduce the pronounced racial and gender gaps that envelope the STEM spectrum in our Tidewater cities.
