3M STEM Scholarship
At 3M, science is applied in collaborative ways to improve lives daily and make a positive impact. Started by five founders that had a straight forward purpose in 1902: to mine corundum, a mineral that is suitable to creating sandpaper and grinding wheels. It turned out that what they thought was corundum was actually anorthosite, a low-grade mineral.
This small company may have been doomed from the moment they discovered the low-quality material, yet the founders persisted. Why? Because something even more essential was born that first year: the spirit of creativity and collaboration that is still at the heart of 3M today. Instead of giving up, the group experimented with other materials, applied them to other goods, acquired the faith of key investors and gradually increased sales. Over the years, scientific, technical and marketing advances let to success after success, eventually making 3M a household name.
This grant is open to undergraduate STEM and Nursing majors to aid in the recruitment and retention of students with STEM ambitions in order to address the nation's expanding STEM needs. Applicants must demonstrate financial need by completing the FAFSA or TASFA for the aid year in which the scholarship will be awarded. Students who are the first generation in their family to earn a bachelor's degree are given priority.

Yolanda and Oscar Santos Scholarship
The Yolanda and Oscar Santos Scholarship for the Center for Mexican American Studies is established in memory of two Dallas, Texas residents who valued education for their children and the Latino community. Yolanda Santos worked as a social worker most of her life in the Oak Cliff barrios of Dallas. Living in Oak Cliff, she experienced firsthand the desperate need for a good education. As a victim of a drive-by shooting, she realized that youth living in poverty and ignorance were capable of senseless crime. She dedicated her life to raising her five children, directing them to live productively through education. In her social worker role, she guided youth to channel their energies by developing positive emotional self-control and high self-esteem. Oscar Santos was a first-generation Mexican immigrant who worked most of his life in construction. Like many first-generation students, he struggled to negotiate his way through American mainstream culture. He instilled in his children the importance of hard work and learning skills to prosper in their pursuit of the American Dream. This scholarship is established in the spirit of Yolanda's compassion for her community and Oscar's immigrant desire that his children prosper in his adopted country.
