CLIMB is a need-based program made possible by a grant to Concordia from the National Science Foundation (NSF). CLIMB was created in partnership with local biotechnology companies and is open to 12 incoming STEM students annually through Fall 2026 who are interested in careers in biotechnology. The scholarship awards up to $15,000 per year toward the total cost of attendance and includes opportunities for research experiences and paid internships.
The STEM Discovery program will support STEM students who demonstrate financial need, as defined by the Office of Financial Aid who are passionate about pursuing a STEM-related career. Eight scholarships are available to incoming students each year and awardees receive a $6,500 annual scholarship, as well as opportunities for research and paid internships.
