PUMA STEM Scholars Project
Could you use a three-year scholarship of up to $4300 dollars each year? After DVC, do you intend to transfer as a science, math, or engineering major? Do you still need to take General Chemistry I and Precalculus? If the answer to all of those questions is Yes, the PUMA STEM Scholars project could be great for you!
The PUMA STEM Scholars project is DVC's newest learning community. Starting in fall 2021, the PUMA STEM Scholars Project will welcome scholars into a collaborative, transformational learning experience designed to give aspiring scientists and engineers at our college a firm foundation in their science or engineering major to support their successful transfer to a four-year institution. The program includes supports for students' academic, career, and financial needs. Learn more at PUMA STEM Scholars Project.
