Beginning in 2019, Lockheed Martin will award 200 scholarships of $10,000 per student – renewable each year. The program will continue to add up to 200 new recipients each year for an investment of $50 million over five years. The program will be open to individuals studying engineering or computer science that demonstrate financial need and come from underrepresented or underserved communities. The initial focus will be on four-year U.S. college or university attendees, but the program has the capability to expand globally as well as to two-year community college attendees. Mentoring opportunities will be a key component of the program, and recipients will also be eligible for a Lockheed Martin internship following their freshman year in college.
This scholarship is designed to aid intelligent and creative students who are interested in a career in STEM who would otherwise have difficulty fulfilling that dream. This is a clear effort to diversify the pool of future engineers to better position the company to have more inventive solutions and create a culture that better represents what the rest of the country looks like. Diversity is a word that opens doors to new perspectives and shifts "singular" ideologies. This scholarship program is an awesome opportunity for Lockheed Martin to demonstrate its commitment to building a better tomorrow for all races, genders, orientations, economic backgrounds and military statuses by creating a workforce that represents all of them.
