The program is available to students focused on STEM education and provides complete funding tuition, room and board, and additional learning opportunities for undergraduate students.
Of the $23 million pledge, $20 million will expand enrollment capacity in the Scott Scholars Program from 128 students to 168 over the next five years, and expand a class size from 32 students to 42 each year, according to a March 12 university news release.
An additional $3 million will support the expansion of the program at UNMC.
