The Kummer Vanguard Scholars program provides scholarships to up to 400 undergraduate STEM scholars each year, based on academic and non-academic criteria. Each scholar is awarded $1,000–$3,000 per year for up to four years, and may be combined with other university scholarships.
Each semester, Kummer Vanguard Scholars are provided with experiences that complement what they learn in their labs and classrooms, and expands upon the opportunities available to them as they pursue a STEM degree at Missouri S&T.
The Kummer Vanguard Scholars program is beneficial to people wanting to go above and beyond in their career. It is teaching us skills that newly graduating college students wish they knew.”
