BRIEF OVERVIEW
The NEXUS Scholars program enables academically talented students to pursue successful
careers in promising STEM fields.
Ultimately, the NEXUS Scholars program seeks to increase the number of students who
graduate with a degree related to data science and contribute to the American innovation
economy with their STEM knowledge. Recognizing that financial aid alone cannot increase
retention and graduation in STEM, the NEXUS Scholars program provides cohort and individualized
mentorship opportunities, financial aid, research or internship experience and more.
