There is a widening gap between the state's workforce needs and the number of science, engineering and mathematics degrees awarded by California institutions.

Educational partnerships such as CSU/Edison Transfer Scholarship are an important tool for addressing this shortfall.

This scholarship will help increase the number of professionals in the fields of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics and is crucial in developing a more culturally competent workforce.

Scholarships range from $2,500 to $5,000 per year and are renewable for at least a two year period.
