Scholarship Highlight
Cell Signaling Technology: Local Community Science Scholarship
This program awards four students enrolled in a STEM-related major at an accredited, four-year college with a $10,000 scholarship. When CST first launched the Local Community Science Scholarship program, it was offered to qualifying students in four communities closest to CST headquarters in Danvers, Massachusetts, US. Now, the program’s availability has expanded to include additional underprivileged local communities and continues to grow.
Scientific endeavor is instrumental in solving critical social, environmental, and technical challenges that we face worldwide. The mission of CST is to deliver the highest quality research tools to progress biological research and enable personalized medicine. We depend on local schools to inspire young students to choose a career committed to science, and that's why we are glad to help support the education of future STEM graduates. CST recognizes the need to encourage those from backgrounds underrepresented in science fields and encourages high schools to consider diversity when presenting applicants for this scholarship.
Deadline: Annually on April 10. For questions, email scholarship@cellsignal.com.
