– March 31, 2025 – The focus of a grant to South Florida State College (SFSC) from the National Science Foundation (NSF), Emerge Scholars Program: Preparing Students for an Innovative Future, has expanded and will offer more students access to scholarships in STEM-related programs.
Degree programs that the grant now covers are the Associate in Science in Engineering Technology, Associate in Science in Computer Programming and Analysis, and Associate in Science in Networking Systems Technology. The NSF is an independent agency of the United States federal government that supports research and education in all non-medical fields of science and engineering.
The agency’s award to SFSC in 2023 was $750,000 and the grant monies will be available through November 2028. Through the SFSC Emerge Scholars Program, students who have been admitted to and/or enrolled in one of the three designated programs may be eligible for a $3,700-per semester scholarship.
Other criteria for the scholarship are that the student must be enrolled full time; have a current Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) on file; must be registered for the term that the student is seeking assistance; and must be a U.S. citizen, permanent resident, U.S. national, or admitted refugee. It is preferred that the student have a minimum 3. 0 GPA.
SFSC’s Associate in Science in Engineering Technology prepares students for high-skill, high-wage positions, such as systems technician, process analyst, technical sales technician, project technician, and calibration technician. It can serve as a terminal degree or the first step leading to a bachelor’s degree in a technical area or management through the Florida University System.
The Associate in Science in Computer Programming and Analysis prepares the student to become a software applications specialist or entry-level programmer in the microcomputer/business environment. Through the Associate in Science in Network Systems Technology, students become proficient in basic and advanced concepts of network operation, support, and security.
