In FOSSI's second year, we're thrilled to welcome our 2022 class. FOSSI has awarded 294 exceptional high-school seniors $40,000 scholarships ($10,000 per year) to pursue preferred STEM degrees at Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) .
The FOSSI Scholarship is so much more than a generous financial gift. Having this organization invest in my future makes me want to work harder to achieve my goals.
STEM is how I want to apply my unique perspective on the world. I am fascinated by all the inventions humanity has created, and I intend to contribute to that field of achievement throughout my career.
